Hello everyone, back I see you with another review. In this episode we are going to have a reviewing of Nikon 18-55mm F3.5-5.6G the XVR AFP lens. This lens, the Nikon 18-55mm AFP, is an improvement over the old version. The 18-55mm AFS we are two lens. The lens is very small, compact and light, about 200 grams. Easy to carry and easy to use. It has a 55mm cab so we can use any 55mm filters. Here I use 55mm UV filter to protect the lens. The lens is well made and it's all plastic. Even rear of the lens as you see, that's why it's so light but of course the glass is glass. This is the XLens for CropSensor DSLRs. The RO Vibration Reduction Technology System is going to help in low light situation to prevent cameras shake, then hand holding, for sharper photos and steady video. The lens doesn't have any switch button such as Auto to Manual or VR on off button. So nice and clean. But we can switch in the cameras menu between Auto Focus and Manual Focus and we can also switch their image stabilization on and off. This is actually a lock button to keep the lens compact. For unlock the lens to use, we have to press this unlock button and turn it side which makes the lens a bit larger. Now we can zoom from 18 to 55mm. Here is the zoom ring which moving smoothly. And here we have a focusing ring without stopping. Oh so nice and it's smooth. I love it. And finally to lock the lens again we have to press the lock button and turn it back. It has a 7 aperture blade and maximum aperture goes from F3.5 up to 5.6. Let's load it on the camera and it is Nikon D7200. The maximum aperture in 18mm is F3.5 and in 55mm is F5.6 so that was the maximum aperture. And the minimum aperture goes from F22 up to 36. Here it is. In 18mm the minimum aperture is F22 and in 55mm is F36. The lens focuses essentially silently and instantly because it has an ultra-fast near silent Auto Focus. So that's why it is an AFP lens and it is ideal for recording videos. By the way at the end of the video we will test the zoom range and focusing speed. We can use this lens for landscape, portrait, building, family and street photography. Another good thing about the lens is there is no external movement as focus. You see? So no air or dust can get in. Now let's see the focus. As you see focus is so fast and so silent. Pretty good huh? Okay we're in a park and I loaded the lens on the camera then I can D7200. So let's see the zoom range. Here we go we can see the zoom range of the lens from 18mm up to 55. Thank you for watching.
