18mm. And...
the same picture with the lens set to 55mm.

New 18-55mm Nikon Lens
Two years ago I broke the lens that came with my Nikon camera. I was climbing around a waterfall at Lake Tahoe and I fell into some rocks. The lens was a basic one that no one, not even Nikon had for sale alone, without the camera. I never missed it because I had other lenses that were either better or more flexible. Recently, Nikon came out with an improved model of that lens at a good price, so I got one -- just so I could feel whole again.
This is a picture of the new lens on the camera.
