18–55mm · f/3.5–5.6
The Nikon AF-P 18-55mm F3.5-5.6G is a lightweight, all-plastic kit lens with fast, quiet autofocus and effective VR. Optically, it is decently sharp wide open and very sharp stopped down to f/8–f/11, with good micro contrast and neutral color, though corners are slightly soft wide open. Distortion is correctable, and wide-open sharpness is excellent. Build is basic, and VR lacks a physical switch, requiring in-camera control. It suits beginners and those seeking an affordable, compact walk-around zoom.
