[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 497874, member: 13090"] In my experience the Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is a fine lens... Until you compare it to something else. It's not particularly fast, sharp or contrast-y. Wide open it's soft in the corners and it distorts rather badly. Chromatic aberration is evident across the board. Yes, it's certainly possible to get good shots with the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G VR but other lenses, such as the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8, will crush it at every turn, and do it every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The later versions are better with the latest, VRII version, being a relatively decent lens. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
