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.

Customer Reviews


Fantastic Lens
I bought this lens from Amazon and at first my oder got lost, but they sent another one, in just a one day dilivery. I am very happy with this lens and the way Amazon took care of the problem. The lens takes very clear picture's and great color. Its worth the money !


Great telephoto on a budget
If you are looking for a quality telephoto lens, but don't have 0+ to spend, this is the lens for you. The VR is a great feature not found in many other lenses in this price range. Despite what some other online reviews say, this lens *does* have manual focus. I will agree that the autofocus is a little on the slow side, but I was still able to get some great shots at the air show a few weeks ago. Definitely recommend this product.


Nice Lens
I had purchased the Sigma 70-300 macro f/4-5.6. Which is like one of the best lenses I ever used. I can't even begin to describe the sharpness of my Images at full zoom. Anyway, the lens is great but really heavy to lug around all day. So I bought this one Nikon 55-200 f/4-5.6 with VR. It's alot lighter and works great with my D60. The Images at full tele are a little soft but good and a lot easier to lug around all day. Good lens I recommend it. Can't beat either lens for price.


very pleased
Everything they d=stated came with my package and the shipping was super fast.. excellent service.


Great lens, VR is awesome, not heavy duty
I bought this lens and took great photos with it. It has a narrow range of apertures, but with VR you can go 3-4 stops slower without blurring. I took great photos in very low light when I set speed to 3200 on my DX-40. The only problem I had is that it fell off a shelf (in the camera bag of course) and it broke. So don't let yours go bungee jumping.
