Pros: The best kitl lens arround. Zoom range. CA control
Cons: Slow in the dark.

Comparing 18-105 with 18-135 the main difference is CA control. The d90 kit controls those sunset killer CA very well. One of the best walkarround lens.

Pros: sharp,sharp, good price ,lite,VR, 18-105 what a great range.
Cons: distortion on the wide end

I have 2 of these and love 'um. Try one out against the 18-135 none VR in the store, this lens is faster to focus and sharper too.
Very sharp with some distortion on the wide end, can be fixed in post.
I've moved on to faster and much more expensive glass but my wife still uses it at weddings because she loves the range that this lens gives, with very good results

Get this kit lens with a D90 and let the fun begin

Pros: Versatility, price, vr and af-s.
Cons: Distortion at 18mm.

I got this in a kit with my D90, and though i thaught i was gonna hate it (cuz of the reviews) i absolutly love it, u can get very wide to farely close.
The vr works great and the af-s focus is handy to also front element doesn't move so u can use all filters u want.
Only thing i don't love is the distortion it is alot more prominent in this one than in the 18-55mm that i used before.
