Best for
A light, small early AF standard zoom - simple and lightweight, but modest in range. Includes a macro mode for closer focusing. Because it uses screw-drive AF, it requires a Nikon DSLR with a built-in autofocus motor.
Frequently asked questions
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
No. This is a screw-drive AF lens and entry-level Nikon DSLRs don't have a built-in autofocus motor, so you'd be stuck with manual focus. For AF on those bodies you'd need an AF-S, AF-P or AF-I lens.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
