Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Zoom Nikkor Lens .This versatile and compact 3.6x Zoom-NIKKOR lens brings the action to the photographer. Ideal for portraiture, family, sports, nature and wildlife.

This lens is sharp even at wide apertures, the VR (image stabilization) works great, autofocus speed is more than acceptable, and it it is very light and compact. The fact that it costs $250 and has effective VR is pretty amazing – no other company offers a lens with this feature for anywhere near this price.

As for image quality, search the various internet photo sites, such as dpreview and nikonians for sample photos taken with this lens by real users. The results are impressive! My copy produces similar results. The previous reviewer must have a bad sample.

Of course, the lens is slow (like almost all consumer zoom lenses), in that its widest aperture is smaller than a professional zoom or prime lens, so it’s not a good choice for action photography in lower light conditions (like indoor sports without flash or outside sports at dusk). But a fast telephoto zoom will cost at least three times as much and weigh a ton.

Best lens in my bag!,

By MSharpe (Elizabeth, NJ)

I truly LOVE this lens. I was initially struck by the incredible image quality and it has since become one of my standard go-to lenses when I’m out on a shoot. As a rule, I’m a huge fan of anything Nikon manufactures and this product is no exception. Highly recommended!

Works great,

By Precept423 “Precept423″

Got this as part of a bundle and find myself using it more than the 18-55. It’s ok as part of a bundle but I found that capturing baseball action was a bit of a challenge and think that if you are looking for that you visit your photo outlet and ask about the rig lens for the job. Other than capturing faster action it works great. The colors and functionality seems to be good enough for me but I want to qualify that by saying that I am new to DSLRs. I’ll probably look to get a hold of a faster 200 or 300mm lens next year just for capturing sporting action.
