Nikon 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6 vs nikon 18 55mm f 3 5 5 6?

These two names point to two different Nikon kit zooms, and on my pages they share the same basics: both are 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses for APS-C cameras. I haven't written down how they differ in build, optics, or price, so I won't guess at that here.

The Nikon AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR is the one to check if you're buying new. The Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II is the kit zoom that came with many older entry DSLRs.

Both are variable-aperture zooms, so they get darker as you zoom in. If you shoot in dim light or want more background blur, the lenses guide explains why that matters.
