Verdict
The Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR offers a nice package of a comfortable focal range, optical stabilization and very high resolution figures. On the downside there're rather pronounced distortion and CAs. The build quality is Ok but not really something to rave about either. Given the very moderate price tag it's certainly an attractive offer if you can live with or work around its shortcomings. It's quite interesting to see that Nikon is able to offer very attractive "long range" kit zoom lenses. None of the other manufacturers does really come close in this respect and it's certainly giving Nikon a competitive edge in the important budget segment of the market.
