How does this lens compare to the Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens that comes as the kit lens with the D90?

i use both the 105 and the 200 and my 200 is my go to every day lens. both are good but i just prefer the 200. hope this helps. distortion is equal on both lens so no real differences noted.

It wouldn't be either better or worse. That would depend mainly on your apature settings. The 18-140mm allows a weirder zoom range. Your best bet is to find This for cheaper:Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX ED VR Nikkor Wide-Angle Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras

I have used this lens on a d90 & d7100. I normally use this lens for my kids ice hockey game and it works flawlessly. Best purchase I have made for my photography.

is a dx lens. the D610 is full frame. If use on d610 will have dark corners at the widest end of the range. I would recommend the excellent nikon 16-35 f4 with VR and right now is discounted

This seems odd. I've not thought that before of this lens. I shot part of a wedding ceremony with this lens. You are referring to the vr or the focus motor? Do you have any other lenses with VR? How does it compare?

Is the 18-105 worth buying over the 18-55mm any day. Especially you going to use with D5200. If you more money why not go for 18-200mm VRII or 18-300mm VRII. They are all around lenses. Good luck!

Absolutely! Great lens! Set aperture ring to 1.4, lock it and the D 90 does the rest. Great results.

D90 is DX and this sigma lens works with DX cameras. I guess there is something about the D90 that cannot take advantage of the lens fully. The box is accurate. They would want to sell you the lens if they can.

Get the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Nikkor Zoom Lens with D60. This combo will give you everything you need for a couple years. After that, you will itch for better glass and better camera.D80 is two years old due for replacement very soon. D300 is an exceptional camera that might be too daunting for beginner to learn.

No, I would highly suggest going for the VR version for a few extra bucks. This is obsolete. I also would suggest getting a new version as this lens is old and many used ones won't operate correctly.

I have this lens mounted on my D5100 and it works fine. I'm an amateur photographer (for what it's worth) but this lens is the sharpest I've used! Nice lens!

The new lens is smaller and lighter, performs just as well and is (or was) slightly less expensive. The downside is that is a tad slower at the long end --6.3 v. 5.6. Some say it doesn't take as sharp of pictures. I don't agree and the trade off for how much small and lighter it is, is well worth it to me. It is even lighter than my older 18-200VR. For a everyday lens that can take photos between 18 - 300, It is ideal for me. If I need sharper, I'll use a dedicated lens for that shot!

This is like comparing apples to oranges. The 70-300mm VR is strictly a "consumer-prosumer" grade lens. Think of it as the "cheap version" of the famous Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens. The 28-300mm VR lens is more for the serious amateur or professional on the go that shoots full frame 35mm or DX. I use 2 Nikon D800's and the 28-300mm lens is on one of them at all times. The newer version that is out now is better than the first issue of a couple years ago, and even at 36 megapixels, I'm getting clean, clear, crisp shots...something I rarely got with my 70-300mm lens. To be perfectly honest, with a GOOD quality multi-coated UV filter on it, you can use this lens all day without changing lenses once. It has become my "walking around" lens of choice. In fact, I just got back from Hawaii and used it for 9 days straight without using any of the other 7 lenses I had in my bag. I recommend it, even for your D7000...you'll just end up shooting an effective range of 105mm to 450mm, or a LOOOONNNNGGGG telephoto lens when you need it.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I bought this lens for my camera. The lens works perfectly with my D5100. The D5100 has auto-focus capabilities, and because this lens as the "VR" designation, it too is an auto-focus attachment! It's been a great addition to my set-up!

My lens does not have VR, but other people have indicated through their reviews that it fits the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:35-5.6G VR lens as well.

I would recommend the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR is quite expensive $ 1200 + but is best for landscapes.

This is generally seen as a direct upgrade from the 18-55 Kit lens. It covers almost the same focal lengths, but with wider aperture (more possible light), better autofocus, and better overall image quality. If you like the zoom range on the kit lens but are unsatisfied with the images that come from it, this is a lens you should consider.
