❚❚The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–105mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–105mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR is for use exclusively with Nikon DX
format digital cameras.
Superior optical performance and image rendering are
ensured by the use of aspherical lens elements and elements made using extra-low
dispersion (ED) glass to correct chromatic aberration.
A rounded aperture produces
soft, esthetically-pleasing blurring of point light sources in out-of-focus areas of the
image (bokeh).
If the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, vibration reduction
will not be activated when the AF-ON button is pressed.
A Using the Built-in Flash
When using the built-in flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft.) and
remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens
obscures the built-in flash).
Camera Zoom position Minimum distance without vignetting
D5000, D3100, D3000
18 mm 2.5 m/ 8 ft. 2in.
24 mm 1.0 m/ 3 ft. 3in.
D700, D7000, D300 series,
D200, D100, D80
All No vignetting at any focus distance
D90, D70 series
18 mm 1.5 m/ 4 ft. 11in.
24 mm No vignetting at any focus distance
D50
18 mm 1.0 m/ 3 ft. 3in.
24 mm No vignetting at any focus distance
D60, D40 series
18 mm 2.5 m/ 8 ft. 2in.
24 mm 1.0 m/ 3 ft. 3in.
35 mm No vignetting at any focus distance
Because the built-in flash units for the D100 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a
lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.
D Lens Care
Keep the CPU contacts clean.
Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces.
To remove smudges and
fingerprints, apply a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth
or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outwards using a circular motion, taking
care not to leave smears or touch the glass with your fingers.
Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
The lens hood or NC filters can be used to protect the front lens element.
Attach the front and rear caps before placing the lens in its flexible pouch.
When a lens hood is attached, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the
hood.
If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent
mold and rust.
Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
Keep the lens dry.
Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from
reinforced plastic.
