Brian I had a 18-105 mm Nikkor it came with the D7000 these were stolen in Kenya last year so I bought a secondhand 18 -70 mm to replace it being a Nikon user since the 60's.I was amazed at the sharpness contrast and definition I would endorse your comments.
Just picked up a mint 18-70 for $105 on eBay. This and the 50 1.8D have to be the best bargains around. I am extremely pleased with the quality of this lens. The pictures are very sharp.
Great review. It is better than the 18-105. I agree with you on the image quality as its simply super. I was searching for a proper review and opinion on this lens and you have cleared all of them. I just bought this lens a couple of days ago and its amazing. Its a perfect match for my D5100. Cheers.
I was lucky to find this lenses Nikon 18-70 and a Tamron 75-300 macro in an Antique Store two days ago and I paid 40.00 for both. I found them in a box together with a Nikon D70 but I just bought the lenses. Lucky i had my D7000 with me, so tested them and I took excellent pictures in the store. I know it cause I owned higher quality lenses like the Sigma 17-50 F2.8, Nikon 70-300 VR and the Nikon 35 1.8G together with my D7000 camera and my SB 700 speed light. Thanks for the review.
nikon or Sigma 17-70mm 1:2.8-4.5 Macro HSM? cause he has VR and macro mode and its newer... I am really confused its for my nikon d7000... I don't want 105. He has a lot of distortion
bid on ebay and won this lens last night. Jan. 2018 ($110.00) Liked the fact that it was 18-70 instead of the 18-55 kit lens. Suppose to act like a VR lens not sure about that though. Looks like a fun lens. A good overall lens to use for daily use and leave on the camera. Will be used on a 5500. How did you not laugh when the Cuckoo clock went off?
I think this lens is kind of mistake from Nikon that made too good quality kit lens. they gave everything to this lens then they know that they just did mistake n start making new kit lenses like 18-105 or 18-135 for less budget. n yea this lens really worth it to keep n I also keep this lens for my d7100 right now.
Well if you have a DX body... its the best value lens available. I bought one for a friend a few months ago for $150. I paid $275 for mine 4 years ago. Anyway I would get one if you have a crop body.
build quality is better than the 18-55 but honestly, the optics are not better than "decent". compared to e.g. the 50mm 1.8, the 18-70 looks flat, no contrast seperation and just acceptable sharpness.
lazerslut well sorry you had that experience. The optic quality is very good for a low cost zoom. This is a semi pro lens and is ED coated giving better contrast and color rendition than the 50mm 1.8g

Was the Cu-Cu clock intentional, because it was timed perfectly!

brianminkc in Thailand this lens is only 100 USD or less but hard to find a good one. I got mine by 100 USD n almost 100% looking
Nice man! Nice sweater too
Lighting is a very important part of photography. I think you missed that part
The 16-85 focuses a lot slower than the 18-70 and misses focus a lot...
