It says on the box for the lens that the lens is for Nikon AF D cameras.

While I would normally go to a local camera shop and ask them this question, living in China I have a bit of a language barrier with my local camera store.

Thanks

Living in China with a language problem sounds like the only problem one would ever need. :D

You can get nice shot's with kit lens. When I bought my Canon T2i And started learning photography my shots were not sharp and I thought well it must be true. I posted here and I do believe it was MT who posted back. He instructed my on how to test my lens. Not complicated, I put a colorful object on my kitchen table ,turned all the lights on, set the white balance and put the camera on my tri pod.I took about 10 shots and yes they were crystal clear. Don't get me wrong kit lens do not compare to better glass but if you are like was and just starting you have to start going through the learning curve and as time goes your shots will become better. I shot with my kit lens for a year before I started to upgrade.

Right. Kit lenses have a bad rep because, #1, they come packed with the camera, and #2, they are called "kit lenses." Like everything else in photography, kit lenses are available in different quality levels. Read the reviews, and you will see that some kit lenses have a very good reputation.

Nice thing about the D7000 is you can calibrate the lens to the body so they will work at maximum capability. I use a Tamron 18-270 as my walk around lens on my D7000 and it takes great shots---you won't be disappointed.........

I use a Nikon D7000 and have a sigma 18-250 lens.
I have no problems.
