Amazon.com Product Description
The newest addition to Nikon's world-class Nikkor lens lineup, the DX Nikkor series was developed for professional and advanced amateur digital SLR users who demand high optical performance. This 55-200mm lens offers such features as two extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, and a nine-blade rounded diaphragm. And thanks to the 200mm maximum focal length and 3.6x zoom, you can shoot everything from close-up sports shots to national park wildlife without standing right next to your subject. Other details include a super-integrated coating that minimizes ghosting and flare; a nine-blade rounded diaphragm for more natural out-of-focus highlights; and a focus switch that lets you easily switch between autofocus (A) and manual (M) modes. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Great Lens for the Dollars   October 9, 2008
Rodney VanNatta (Hartland, WI)
This is a great lens for the average photographer who is looking to get some up close shots and not have to spend a lot of money. I definately recommend going with the VR. I primarily use it outdoors and for sports/athletics. Good picture quality but needs good light. I haven't taken many pictures indoors but don't expect it to provide as good of pictures as outdoors.


5 out of 5 stars Nice!   October 2, 2008
Jeremy Coo Yap Tan (Bacolod City, Philippines)
Very sharp lens, smooth zoom, light, a great lens that goes with nikon's d40, d40x, and d60 :)


3 out of 5 stars Slow, but considering the price it's not bad at all.   September 18, 2008
Karlo Pacheco (Buffalo, NY)
I was quite disappointed with the auto-focus of this lens coz it's slow, but considering that it's cheap, it's not bad at all.


5 out of 5 stars Totally love it!   August 30, 2008

There are so many good reviews already, I just wanted to say again what a great lens this is! I take pictures of my baby with it all the time, and can't believe how well this lens performs.

No complaints, I use it in addition to the 18-55 that came with my d40x.
