Outstanding sharpness in a 5.8x telephoto zoom

A great choice when you want a little more telephoto reach, the powerful AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR offers an approximate 5.8x zoom, making it possible to shoot most subjects with just one lens. Vibration Reduction (VR II) helps you achieve steadier shots during low-light, handheld and telephoto shooting, and advanced Nikon technologies ensure stunning images and videos every time.
