[QUOTE="AC016, post: 127242, member: 9619"] Keep it or toss it, that is up to you. As i said in a previous post about lenses, i am no "lens-nerd". I have had two of those 18-55s - still have one. To me, it's a great lens for what it is. I have taken the majority of my photos with this lens, except for my airplane pics. Yes, i have read in many places that it is "better" than other lenses in the Nikkor line up. I just read the reviews, i don't make them. I would rather have bamboo shoots put under my nails, than do a lens review. The 18-55 is an all-purpose, little zoom lens. That is it. It does not pretend to be anything else but. Therefore, i don't understand why some people belittle it. Nikon has to put something with their cameras and i understand why they would not put a $1000 lens with a $600 camera! Don't worry, you will not be shamed by using one ;) [/QUOTE]
