Used Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Autofocus Zoom Lens

I have read all the reviews I could find about this lens, from casual users to professional photographers. One thread seemed to weave through all that I read. That this lens was extraordinarily sharp. Some could find other things to dislike, most of which were less important to me. But when I found a resolution chart by a reputable group, I was rather amazed by the finding of numbers quite close to the 3K mark. This lever is usually only on very expensive glass. I found the refurbished lens on Adarama and ordered it at once. Amazed I was when I used it. I could use it wide open on a tripod and have very excellent results. (Reviewer Thom) suggested excellent behavior at any focal length and most f stops. Most importantly, wide open. I found it performed very close to my best primes. The lack of VR was displaced by shooting higher ISO's giving me shutter speeds eclipsing anything VR can do. Most interesting was with FX to CX adapter that made it very potent optic with a Nikon1 V series. This has to be the most bang for the buck I have ever spent.

Nice basic zoom lense. Easy to use, not as heavy as the 18-200 which is a beast! It has been consistent and I throw this lense on when I dont want to think about things too much! ;0)

while it is a good generalpupose lense for snap shots, i would opt for a specific lens given the specific nature of the subject or setting.

This is the general purpose lens that I use to replace the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Nikon D40 years ago. This lens has served me well for several years. The only thing I cannot understand is why Nikon no longer sells this lens in the U.S.

I was searching for an amazing zoom lens and I found the right one. The 18-135mm is perfect for any family photographer. This lens allows you to still be near your client or subject but still get thouse far way shots.

I bought this lens because i got tired of switching from my 18-55mm to my 200 telephoto, this lens is a great all around purpose lens, very versatile and produces great sharp images, I strongly recommend it.

It is a good lens but there are many other lenses in the market which are more versatile. This lens is not VR and cannot be used in low light. It is consistent in very good light which will not be the case always.

It is a handy lens for weddings when you can't be switching all the time, but lacks a good f/.

This camera really was a great replacement for my stock Nikon lens that broke. I would recommend it to anyone because of the great zoom variety. Great Lens!

I took this lens to the Grand Canyon for a workout and it did a terrific job. Although I had 3 other lenses with me, I ended up using this as my primary lens. The shots that I took were very sharp and the focal lengths worked out well in shooting around the Canyon.

Great lense. Would reccommend for beginners looking to get one lense to accomadate a whole myriad of focal lengths.
