The Nikon 18-105mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 is Nikon’s latest ”kit” lens, sold with the D90 digital SLR camera. The lens is designed to fit a camera with an APS-C (”subframe”) sensor, so while it will mount on Nikon film or FX digital bodies, it will show obvious vignetting when set to any focal length.
Small and light, the 18-105mm represents a field of view of approximately 27-158mm in 35mm terms. To economize and create a more efficient design, the lens is equipped with a variable aperture; as the zoom extends the focal length, both the smallest and the largest apertures change.
