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.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus

Handling and Features Performance Verdict Specification This new telephoto zoom lens sports a compact, collapsible design, Vibration Reduction and silent focusing. It costs around £270, and in this review, we'll take a look at how it performs.

Decent performance for an entry level lens; Silent focusing; Collapsible design; Lightweight; Compact; Quick focusing

Seems quite expensive compared to current equivalents; Performance isn't bad; but certainly not worth paying a premium for

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

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.

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

Nikon and its imaging products are known for their better technique, better insight and better image quality. The newly introduced Nikkor AF-S 55-200mm VR f/4-5.6 DX lens is another great offering from the house of Nikon, which comes bolstered with state of art optical technologies like the...

This is perhaps the best bang for the buck for a telephoto lens out there in the APS-C world. It's tack sharp corner to corner at wide open apertures and from wide to long FOV, suffers from almost no chromatic aberration and has negligible distortion, plus it's parfocal, so it stays in focus as you...

Lightweight; compact; astoundingly sharp; great bokeh; parfocal; highly effective VR; dirt cheap if you get it refurbished in a DX camera/2 lens kit

MF is very hard to do with its short ring turning angle and its total lack of resistance; zoom ring could be smoother; at f/5.6 at the long end it's quite dark; and it doesn't have the fastest or quietest AF motor (but is fast and quiet enough); but hey I
