About this lens

Works with
- Nikon F-mount DX (APS-C) DSLRs - all bodies including entry-level
- Not designed for Nikon full-frame (FX) DSLRs - heavy vignetting at wide settings
Best for
A capable general-purpose zoom for DX shooters - wide enough for landscapes and interiors, long enough for portraits and short telephoto. Works on all Nikon DSLRs with the AF-S silent wave motor handling autofocus internally. Not designed for full-frame Nikon bodies (will vignette heavily at wide settings).
Frequently asked questions
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — VR, up to 3 stops.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in AF-S silent-wave motor handles autofocus in-lens, so this works on every Nikon F-mount DSLR including entry-level bodies.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
