Can a "Kit" Lens Be Any Good?

bycolonialpara Apr 27, 2007

INTRODUCTION

The Nikkor 18-70mm AF-S ED f3.5-4.5G IF DX zoom lens is one of those lenses from Nikon that first appeared about the time that the company introduced its first sub-$1,000 U.S. digital SLR, the Nikon D70 to the camera shooting public. Originally marketed to be sold as part of... Read full review »

Introduction

A "kit" in the camera world is a camera body and a lens (usually a zoom). Any pro photographer knows to stay away from kits. Why? Because the vast majority of lenses included with kits are sub-par performers. In the 1990's, a lot of kits from the top camera manufacturers... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Background information

This lens was developed to be bundled together with the Nikon D70, hence the informal name "the D70 kit lens". When I bought my D70, the price difference between purchasing the D70 kit together with the bundled lens and the D70 body only was so slight, that there... Read full review »

a "kit lens" or the real deal?

byuniq Mar 19, 2005
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros All the "pro" level OPTICAL features, fantastic price/performance ratio
Cons 67mm filter size, plastic construction, variable aperture, DX designation, focus ring in...
Recommended it? Yes

I just recently picked up a D70 to compliment my Nikon film gear and I decided to get the complete D70 kit, which included the 18-70mm Nikkor DX lens. This was mainly because all my film lenses would suffer from the 1.5 x focal length multiplier imposed by the APS sized digital sensor. After... Read full review »

Great walkaround but watch your wallet

bytomstainer Jan 28, 2005
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros quick and quiet autofocus, professional build, Nikon badge, relatively cheap for brand...
Cons pricey compared to similar generic manufacturers
Recommended it? Yes

This lens may come as one of the "kit lens" options with the Nikon D70, but it's far from a starter lens and delivers in spades for all but the most exacting photographer.

With a zoom range between the wide 18mm and the telephoto 70mm, it provides an ideal "walkaround" lens. Add in the... Read full review »

What can I say about the Nikon 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF-S DX lens, it came packaged with the D200. If you're reading this review, you may be a D200 kit owner like myself. I won't get into the technical description too much on this as the earlier reviewers and the NikonUSA site pretty much describe... Read full review »

Much more than a "kit lens"

bysailingshot May 16, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Does everything well at half the expected cost.
Cons It's not free!
Recommended it? Yes

This is often called the "kit lens" as it is packaged with the D70. It often sells for 300.00 US or less. It features a ultra fast AFS Nikon focus system and is a joy to use. It is for digital cameras ONLY and has no F/stop ring. This lens operates smoothly and build quality is very good. Optically... Read full review »
