Nikon D5300 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II AF-S DX NIKKOR Zoom Lens (Grey)

greetings everyone and today i'll be taking nikon's kit lens for aps-c digital slr cameras out for a test drive we have the afp dx nikkor 18 to 55 millimeter f 3.5 to 5.6 g vr it's distinguishable from older nikon kit lenses by its shape and with its afp designation which stands for pulse motor or stepping motor it also doesn't have a designated switch to turn its vibration reduction system on and off so you have to do that in your camera's menus if you own an older nikon digital slr camera then there's quite a good chance that it's not actually compatible with it take a look in the description for a link to nikon's official compatibility chart which you see here the cameras that it does work with properly may also need a firmware update but if the lens came with your camera then obviously it is compatible or you can buy it separately for about 200 us dollars or even cheaper over on eba
