How to Fix 18 55mm Lens Nikkor

How to Fix 18 55mm Lens Nikkor.

We have here the 18 55mm lens nikkor that is seemingly designed to do one thing: make you want more.

I received mine as part of my kit package with my Nikon D40. It is a decent nikkor lens that cuts corners all over to keep price down, and doesn't really do anything great.

However, for those first starting out, it's light as a feather, simple to use, and at least for the initial month or so, all you need to get out and start capturing memories.

As expected for the price, it is of relatively low-grade plastic construction, to include the mount (the part at the rear that connects to the camera), however the optics are uncharacteristically sharp.

While it is an AF-S lens (focusing element in the 18 55mm lens nikkor and not the camera), it doesn't benefit from full-time manual override found on other AF-S lenses (that is, you're able to make manual adjustments after the lens has focused).

I'm sure that Nikon did this as a cost-cutting measure. For users of this 18 55mm lens nikkor , this shouldn't be an issue as you can always switch over to manual focus anyway via a switch on the nikon lens or camera

Save the D40/X which doesn't have an internal focus motor and as such no switch on the camera. However, more experienced users will find the manual focus ring quite distasteful.

Also, since the front element rotates, use with a polarize will be annoying.
