The 18-55mm consumer zoom that's been a ubiquitous offering with the consumer Nikon DSLRs has gotten the one thing everyone thought it was missing: VR. There's been a slight change in the optical formula, so we'll have to wait to test it to see if it's as good as the first two versions of that lens. Note that the new version of the lens is a little bigger, 2.5 ounces heavier, and uses a different lens hood than the previous versions. The lens should be available in December for about US$199, and we should see kit bundles with it shortly thereafter. I suspect that the kit prices will probably go up a bit with the lens.
