Editorial Reviews:

Versatile and compact 3.6 Zoom-Nikkor brings the action to the photographer. Ideal for portraiture, family, sports, nature and wildlife. Approximates the picture angle characteristic of an 82-300mm lens in the 35mm format. Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) reduces the effects of camera shake, allowing hand-held shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible for dramatically sharper images. An ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, contributing to superior optical performance. New compact rod-type Silent Wave Motor (SW) enables ultra-high speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation. Enables quick switching between A (Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus).

Summary: Nikon 55-200 MM Lens
Comment: This is a compact, light weight lens. The range is perfect for general photography. Love it. The VR feature is perfect.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Right Ammo
Comment: This is the right ammunition for amateurs. The VR is an enhancement to get the right picture whether you're still or mobile.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great lens for the price
Comment: THis lens is recommended for any amatuer photographer that is looking for a reliable, crisp fairly priced telephoto lens. You could get a cheaper one, but for a few bucks more, this Nikon is awesome!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Pleased!
Comment: This lens is a great addition to my 18-55 kit lens. It is very sharp and lightweight. I took many photos with it in the past month and it was a joy to use. I was able to handhold at very slow shutter speeds with no sign of camera movement, even at 200mm. The only thing it was unable to cope with was autofocusing in heavy fog over water. It was a great bargain and I would buy another if I lost this one.

Summary: Not bad, but not enough for pro photographers
Comment: For the price, this lens is sharper than you would think. Since this is a DX lens, you get decent telephoto ranges on most Nikon digital SLRs. However, you don't want to use this on a D3 or a D700 as those cameras would be limited to a mere 5.1 MP. All in all, not a bad deal for beginners, amateurs or occasional photographers.
However, this lens has some problems for pros and semi-pros. It's slow. It's not good for sports or event photography and you're going to want lots of light when shooting with this lens.
If you need a cheap telephoto for a camera with a DX sensor, this isn't bad. I just prefer Nikon's prime lenses.
