Very lightweight lens considering focal length of 55-200mm, equivalent to 300mm on my cropped sensor camera body. And it collapses down to the same length as my 18-55mm kit lens which it complements really well.

This is great for taking far away pictures. I use it for taking close ups of my son when he's pitching or batting in his games. The quality of the photos is excellent!

Excellent lens!!!! Great price!!!!

Light weight..; Fast focusing

I bought this lens even though I already have the older 55-200mm VR kit lens from 2008. They are both equally sharp, and focus reasonably quickly. This lens is quite a bit more compact, which was my main reason for getting it. At the sale price, it is a good value.

A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

I bought this lens to replace my Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S ED which seem to stop working all together, I thought it was the camera, but after mounting it on my friends Nikon D3300, he had the same issue I had. I paid $750 for that lens in 2006 and I like the size (72mm filter size).

Low light photos are quite shaky and blurr as f number is quite high in yhis lens. Tripod is mandatory for usage. The VR does not perform so well as in other nikkor lenses

The pack contains a lot of stuff for free, very useful ítems. The whole Price was the same as the lens only sold by other stores Fast shipping!

The size of the lens pouch is much larger than required; They sent 8" hight but 7" would have been ok for an adequate protection and tight packing; With the extra inch the lens are kind of loose

I love it but I wish it could be faster on the D3200. I recommend it to junior photographers such as me. If you are a new beginner you have to buy this lens and the reasons are its cheap, its got VR, Its got a zoom rande of 55-200 which is pretty good for sports and wildlife.

I love this lens and use it all the time. I travel frequently, so this is great for taking pictures of the sights, wildlife - even some landscape shots. The range is good, gives you options without sacrificing quality.
