Product Description
The AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED covers a very popular focal length range (equivalent to 27-105mm in 35mm format), and offers a selection of Nikon's highly regarded technologies such as Silent Wave motor (AF-S) for super fast and quiet autofocus operation, Extra-Low Dispersion glass (ED) for minimized chromatic aberrations, and Internal Focusing (IF) for convenient and balanced handling. In addition, the AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED also incorporates hallmark Nikon features that customers have come to expect from Nikkor lenses, such as distance information guide window, a reliable metal lens mount for years of durability, and a M/A mode for seamless switching between autofocus and manual modes. Designed exclusively for use with DX Format SLR cameras, DX Nikkor lenses deliver a versatile range of angle-of-view, higher performance, and outstanding center-to-edge-to-corner image quality, while realizing smaller and lighter designs. All DX Nikkor lenses have a picture angle comparable to that of 35mm format lenses with a 1.5x factor. Of course the 18 - 70 mm DX is the perfect complement to the newly announced D70 digital SLRAF-S DX ZOOM NIKKOR 18-70 F/3.5-4.5G IF-ED Review
I got this lens as part of my D70 kit in 2005. It is a very good kit lens and a great lens to learn on. This lens will take any photographer a long way. Just note that in poor lighting conditions a flash will be necessary. I am debating replacing this lens with a 17-35mm f2.8. I am not sure that 1 - 2 f-stops will buy me much.This is my trusted and true lens. I only took two lenses to Hawaii, this one and my 70-300mm (non-VR version). That is all I needed. Both lenses handled the trip well. For outdoor photography, the 18-70 is a champ. In tight quarters, with the pop-up flash, this lens will provide some great imagery. I used this lens to photograph an indoor corporate event but it required an external flash. I have the SB-600 and this lens provides the required information to the flash to properly adjust the flash intensity.
