Compare Nikon 18 – 55mm VR and Nikon 18 – 105 VR
-
Is there much difference in the image quality of the Nikon 18 – 55mm VR and the Nikon 18 – 105 mm VR? Looking to upgrade, but don’t have much to spend. The extra range would be useful too. Thanks.
But… It is still cheap plastic made.
You get:
– extra range,
– slightly better quality in the center and much better borders,
– VR.
I didn’t like mine. Optics, except signifficant vignette, is great, but
I just couldn’t stand its plastic mount. That was too much.If you are careful it is going to be a good toy.
Whilst I can’t really fault my 18-70 kit lens, have you also considered –

It’s a bit more expensive than either the 18-70 or 18-105 but is considered to be up at the top of the DX consumer zooms.
Have you considered any 3rd party lenses ?
Both lenses have been tested with the same methodology at the links below:

thanks for the advice guys which was taken on board..but i plumped for a used 18 – 105 from a reputable dealer and flogged my 18-55 kit lens to off set the cost. maybe in a couple of years i will get the 18-65. as it stands I’m a novice and will be doing a short course soon to learn how to use my camera properly. as the man in the shop wisely said “the biggest obstacle to a good picture is the person holding the camera” or something like that. anyway when i get better I will upgrade… to a D3s etc., etc.,
