Extremely good lens
I have taken many pictures and know the value of the lens in picture quality. In my opinion this has provided the quality picture I'm looking for.

This Kit Lens is great for the begginers. You can shoot almost everything within the range. Its good for travelling, landscape or portraits. Everyone should use this lens at-least once. Grab it with your Lovely Nikon DSLR. NIkon the best.

Best Darned Lens for the Money
I've been using this lens as my general purpose lens for my D80 for about three years now. I love this lens! It's been problem free and it shoots great pictures, free of distortion and true to the subject.

Great lens!!
My 18-55 came as part of my D40 kit. I must've gotten a fantastic copy of the lens b/c I've never had issued with this lens when used within its range. Of course I have trouble w/autofocus when in low light. It's not a meant for extremely low light. It IS however an amazingly fast lens that takes crisp, clear pictures. I've grabbed awesome

Garbage
I've had a D40 with this lens for several years now and have had nothing but trouble with it. Like many others have mentioned the auto focus is a frequent problem, and it requires a trip to the factory to fix it. Mine's been in 3 times (during the warranty period) and it's doing it again now. I will never, EVER buy another Nikon. I'm sticking with Canon, like I should have done when I bought this camera.

Answer:
This usually means that the aperture is not set on the Orange number on the aperture ring. DSLR's prefer the aperture to be controlled through the ca,era, not on the lens. Set the aperture on the orange number and go into Aperture Priority or Manual modes to control the aperture. This is why the newer AF-S lenses with the G next to the aperture no longer have an aperture ring because it's controlled through the camera.Jun 1, 2011 by

Answer:
The A is for Aperture Priority, this mode allows you to manually select the aperture using the command dial (Search command dial on Nikon's website for details). The shutter speed will automatically be selected for you in this mode. The M mode is Manual Mode. In this mode, you manually select both the Aperture and the Shutter speed. If your just getting started with photography, I recommend using the P for Program mode. In this mode, the aperture and shutter speed is automatically selected for you but gives you the ability to tweek exposures, metering and so forth. Start there and gain a solid understanding of how the camera selects the aperture and shutter speed. Purchase a D3100 Guide book from a local or online bookstore and learn the camera from there.Jun 1, 2011 by

Answer:
The zoom is never locked so if your zoom capability is locked, you should send it to Nikon for inspection. The plastic tube holding the front glass element can be manually focused when you put the lens on Manual focus noted by a "M" near the switch. Once you place it on Manual, the focal ring will unlock for manual focusing.Jun 1, 2011 by

You need to move the switch on the lens from A to M in order to manually focus since the lens is the one that has the built-in AF motor.

Answer:
VR is vibration control. It stabilized an image & helps eliminate user shake which might blur the picture. If you have your lens fully extended, definitely turn the VR on. If you're getting a lot of blurred pictures at a long range, it could be from user shake which this will help eliminate.Answer:
VR stands for Vibration reduction...good to keep on when u r in auto mode...

Why does the lens make a scratching sound when the lens is focussing?
While using Autofocus on the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II lens, the camera makes a scratching sound. From the description, the lens's autofocus mechanism is supposed to be ultra quiet.
