Silent Wave Motor
The Nikon super-compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is built into the lens body and ensures that the Nikon 18-105mm lens delivers fast, accurate and near-silent autofocus operation, complementing the stylish design of the lens.

Vibration Reduction
Specifically engineered for each individual Nikkor lens, Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology enables photographers to shoot handheld at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Blur caused by camera shake is dramatically reduced, producing visibly clearer, sharper images, especially when shooting in difficult conditions like badly lit interiors or at dusk. Vibration Reduction on the Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR lens also helps stabilise the viewfinder image, making composition more comfortable and easier to achieve.

This Nikon lens also features a rounded diaphragm opening which helps make out-of-focus elements appear more natural, while Nikon's Super Integrated Coating ensures that your pictures have outstanding colour balance and reproduction, and that ghosting and flare is minimised.
