The 18-55 is NOT good for IR but is great in normal use.
I looked back at my notes on all my lens testing from 2011 (!!) and you are right! I was amazed I kept the info....not like me at all. :lol:

I cheated ....went to WEX with my D200IR and under the pretext of buying a lens tried quite a few. The guy in there didn't know anything about IR, so I said I needed to look at the files on my PC before deciding the best....it was the cheaper consumer 18 - 135 lens. :thumbs:

Are you talking about the Nikon AF-S18-55 DX? I am confused!

No I was talking about the Fuji 18-55.

Oops …I said it was the (Nikon) D200IR. I should have said the Fuji AEX IR…..which would have been more understandable. Sorry.

I sold the D200IR to Robert before moving to the Fuji. I wonder if he still uses it? o.O

I did wonder! Can't see you with the plastic fantastic Nikon - my least favourite lens!

Eric, I tried to phone Robert the other day but got no answer. I guess he may have been outside or at work. Have you spoken to him recently? Might be better to PM me your answer.

Coming into this a bit late but having changed from Sony back to Nikon I have also changed all my Sony lenses and got Nikon lenses. I have always found native lenses work best. I have tried adapting them but didn’t feel the IQ was as good.
