Description

The Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II is an ultra-compact, lightweight standard zoom lens engineered for Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras. Providing a versatile 3x zoom range equivalent to 27-82.5mm in 35mm format, it serves as an ideal everyday lens for landscapes, portraits, and travel photography. Built with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and an aspherical lens element to minimize chromatic aberration and distortion.

Features a side A/M focus mode switch, 52mm front filter thread, and close-focusing distance down to 0.28m. Serial number 4620760.

Collector's Notes

The ED II revision of the 18-55mm G lens brought improved optical performance and a lighter barrel redesign over the original Mark I version. While widely bundled as a kit lens, finding examples in excellent cosmetic condition complete with their original gold retail box makes this a great complete replacement option for DX DSLR users.
