It seemed a little complicated to set up at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is a very versatile and very powerful universal remote.

The most difficult part during programming is that most LCD remote have an input or source on the remote to cycle through various sources, and s

This is the third book I've read by Lauren Weisberger and enjoyed it just as much as the first two. Good story. Quick read. Great fun!

I love gdiapers. The only thing I have a problem with is that I did not know we had tree roots in our sewer system so we had a backup in our basement. We now use them only outside of the house and use cloth at home. We only have to wash the "gpant" every few uses but every time Ophelia poops we have

Product Description:

Designed exclusively for Nikon DX-format SLR cameras, this 18-55mm lens approximates the picture angle performance of a 27-82.5mm lens in the 35mm format, ensuring superb versatility in a wide variety of shooting situations. The lens offers such features as a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) with a compact rod-type design that provides fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing; an ED glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration and produces a superior optical performance; a hybrid aspherical element that delivers high resolution and contrast; and a seven-blade rounded diaphragm that produces more natural out-of-focus highlights. The focus mode switch, meanwhile, makes it a breeze to switch quickly between autofocus (A) and manual (M) focus. Finally, the lens's Super Integrated Coating minimizes ghosting and flare to provide an even higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty.

Great lens - Great macro
3/1/2008
I am very pleased with this lens. I mostly bought it for macro photos, but is gave me a whole new perspective for a "normal" lens for digital 35 mm SLR. Very pleased indeed.

Great value lens!!
2/27/2008
For experienced shooters, don't expect much. For those just starting out with digital SLR photography, it's the best kit lens to use. This lens can really deliver great pictures. Provided you know what you're doing. That simply means understanding how to use aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, and lighting among other things to achieve the best results. That also means you have to minimize using "toink" (auto) mode to learn. Not that the different auto modes don't take great shots. They actually do, except, they don't always come out the way you want them to. I use this along with a D40x body. And most of the time it has helped me take great pictures. I say most of the time only because this lens does have its limits. When you understand this, you should be just fine. For shooting distant objects try the 55-200mm VR lens. For shooting objects in low light conditions try the 50mm f/1.8D lens. In any case, hope this helps.

You get what you pay for!
2/9/2008
I got this lens as well as the 55-200mm VR lens as a kit for my D80. For the price you can't beat what the lens does, but you will not be getting a lens that performs well. It is slow to focus at times, and pictures are not as sharp as I would like them to be. I use the 55-200mm VR lens and it is outstanding. If you are on a budget then it will get the job done, but don't expect superior quality from a budget lens. The saying goes.....you get what you pay for.

Excellent Short Zoom Lens
1/19/2008
I got this lens as part of a package with a Nikon D40x camera. While the 18-55mm range is a bit short for my taste, I do like using this lens.

Pros:
-very light weight
-reasonably fast auto-focus
-high quality image resolution

Cons:
none

There is a vibration reduction ("VR") version of this lens, but at this focal length I don't miss it.

"Move on folks, there's nothing here to look at"...
1/4/2008
Slow lens, acceptable optics but very lightweight. If you're crazy enough to consider buying this passable lens included in the Nikon camera kits, save up instead for the 18-200 mm with vibration reduction. The latter lens is incomparable in its utility when compared to the former.
