Description

This silver-finished zoom was the standard kit lens for Nikon's final generation of entry-level consumer film SLRs, such as the N75 and N55. The "G" designation means it lacks a physical aperture ring, a cost-saving measure that moved aperture control entirely to the camera body's dials. Despite its lightweight, plastic-heavy construction (including a plastic lens mount), it is surprisingly well-regarded for its optical sharpness. It covers a classic focal range from wide-angle to portrait.
