Nikon 55 200mm f 4 5 6G ED IF AF S DX VR Vibration Reduction Zoom Nikkor Lens

Nikon 55 200mm f 4 5 6G ED IF AF S DX VR Vibration Reduction Zoom Nikkor Lens

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).

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Nikon 55-200mm Lens
I can’t compare it to another lens because this was my first zoom lens purchase. However, this was a great purchase! The auto-focus function works well with my D40. I’m still learning the in’s and out’s of a DSLR camera so I don’t use the manual focus frequently, but I have used it and it still produced crisp, clear pictures. I would definitely recommend this lens to others.

5 Stars Couldn’t ask for a better lens–I love it!!!

I purchased this lens from another store and I’m loving it. I got this for my Nikon d3000! I would say get this lens for all around picture taking. It’s a bit heavy, but other than that it’s wonderful!!

5 Stars Plesantly surprised
I have never purchased a refurbished product prior to this purchase of the 55-200mm Nikon lense. I am more that happy with the product. It is quick to focus, even in low light. On a recent trip to Florida to do some bird photography I shot over 1000 images with this lense on my D80 with amazing results. There were alot of big guns there, 400mm, 600mm and my images compared favorably to any shot with the expensive glass.I highly recomend this lense to anyone, from a biginer to a pro.

4 Stars Great lens! VR is a MUST!
I previously used the non-VR version, and I can say now that I’ll never own another lens without VR. Photos are much more crisp at higher zoom levels since the VR takes out the exaggerated shake. It’s a great alternative to the 70-300mm. It gives you all the zoom you need without taking up your whole camera bag. It’s also an easy lens to carry around on your camera, as opposed the the long and heavy 70-300mm. You won’t find a better bang for your buck.

5 Stars Nice Zoom Lens, Decent Price
I bought this zoom lens as an additional lens for my wife’s Nikon D40 camera. The thought was that it would enable her to get some better closeup shots depending on the situation. While it is true that the lens is great for that, functionally it’s not as versatile as her stock lens due to the fact that you don’t have the ability to not zoom in on something. The interesting thing is that the camera has high enough picture quality that you can take almost any image taken with the stock lens and zoom in on it digitally, but I digress.

This last weekend we took an outing to the National Zoo in Washington DC and my wife put this lens on her camera. For the task of taking pictures of the various animals in their enclosures, this thing was great. We wound up with some images of animals that look like they were professionally done and that would not be out of place in a wildlife book.

The lens is easy to install, easy to use, and gives very good picture quality thanks to the vibration reduction feature, all for a reasonable price. For an amateur photographer or someone who just likes to take a lot of snapshots, what’s not to like?
