  • Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF DX AF-S Nikkor

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Good optical quality, lightweight, cheap
    Changing focal length a little rough

    Overall, great lens for the D70. Highly recommded.

    Note:
    Found different wide open aperture readings than those sited in on this site (see Blur Index). I found that the aperture changes at:

    70----------------50-----35-----24--18 Focal length
    |……………………..…..|..|.....|.....|….
    --------4.5------------- 4.2- 4- 3.8-3.5 Aperture


    f/4.5 was over half of the focal length!
