What brand and model number "customized" lens are you referring?

When searching Wal-Marts website, there's no indication that they offer any "customized" lenses for Nikon's

All the lenses listed are mostly standard Nikkor lenses with a few third party lenses made by Rokinon. Any of those lenses can be found on websites like Amazon or B&H Photo or Adorama

Generally in most cases, third party lenses are NOT better than factory Nikkor lenses except perhaps for the new ART lenses made by Sigma, but those lenses typically cost much more than the factory Nikkor lenses

"Nikon customized lens from Walmart": Just doesn't seem likely. Maybe there's a communication problem here.

Don't understand your question. Are you asking about refurbished lens, or off-brand lens, or what?

I think you've posted in the wrong forum. "Customized Nikon Lenses" are a product sold in the Walmart OPTICAL department, not the photographic department.

That whole idea sounds unlikely. And certainly anything with a "store's own label" is likely to be inferior to a well-known independent brand of lens such as Tamron, Tokina, or Sigma.

Seeing that you seem to know little about lenses, best to take your camera to a good photo retailer, and buy one which you know will work on your camera.
