NIKON AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G SWM ED Telephoto Zoom Lens

Very smooth zoom control; 100% compatible with my Nikon D3000 which is several years old now

Didn't realise that this lens was not suitable for standard people shots; My fault for not reading the spec carefully

Optically, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II is better than we expected it to be based on its budget price tag. Centre sharpness, in particular, is good at most focal lengths, although you have to stop down to f/11 to get acceptable results at 200mm.

Great lense and light

Only downside is it is not shipped with a lense hood. Other than that it's a great light lense. I hate lugging heavy lenses around especially if I'm on a long hike up a mountain. This lense is small and compact enough to fit in a pocket.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

This lens puts the bread on the table...

This lens has bang for the buck; it is user friendly and about the perfect zoom length for long portrait to moderately long zoom shots.
