Nikon's popular mid-range DX kit zoom with VR, a step up from the 18-55mm.

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR was introduced in 2008 and became one of Nikon's most popular kit lenses, bundled with the D90 and D7000-series bodies. Covering 18-105mm — a 27-157mm equivalent on DX — it extends considerably beyond the standard 18-55mm kit zoom while remaining a practical size for everyday use. The extended range eliminates the need for a second telephoto lens for most travel and event situations, making it an efficient single-lens solution. An ED element and VR stabilisation were included as standard despite the kit-lens price point.

The optical design uses 15 elements in 11 groups, including one ED element. The 67mm filter thread is larger than the 52mm size on most Nikon kit lenses — photographers upgrading from the 18-55mm will typically need new filters or a step-up ring. At 420g the lens is notably heavier than the standard 18-55mm but lighter than the 18-140mm, representing a moderate weight commitment for its extended zoom range. The IF (Internal Focus) design keeps the barrel length constant during focus and prevents front element rotation — useful when using polarising filters. VR provides approximately 3 stops of compensation, effective for static handheld shooting in low light. The AF-S Silent Wave Motor is quiet and reliable. Build is plastic with a metal mount ring. Variable aperture runs from f/3.5 at 18mm to f/5.6 at 105mm.

For travel, events, and everyday photography the 18-105mm provides a useful range from wide-angle to moderate telephoto in a single lens. The 157mm equivalent at the long end suits informal portraits and distant subjects without the bulk of a dedicated telephoto. VR makes handheld shooting at 105mm practical in adequate light. Centre sharpness is good across most of the range; edges soften at the extremes, particularly at 105mm wide open. Zoom creep — where the barrel drifts open when tilted downward — affects worn copies and is the most important condition factor to check on used examples.

On the used market the 18-105mm VR is consistently available and affordable. Condition checks should cover VR operation, AF motor responsiveness, and zoom ring smoothness. Test for zoom creep by tilting the lens sharply downward with the zoom ring in the middle of its travel — the barrel should not drift. The 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is the successor offering greater reach at a similar price. For DX shooters wanting more range than an 18-55mm without committing to a two-lens kit, the 18-105mm VR remains a practical and cost-effective option.
