I am a novice, but wanted to purchase the zoom lens for my Nikon camera. It's super easy to change the lens and use. It comes with a nice pouch to store the lens in. I was extremely happy that my order arrived sooner than expected.

There's not much you can say about this lens that doesn't seem unfair considering it's typical 175 d

If this is what you can afford..

Cheap; rotating front; not that sharp

Bought it for my trip to Yellowstone. My camera is an old Nikon D40 with kit lens. New Nikon Nikkor 55-200mm was a great help to shoot outdoors, especially animals. Pictures were sharp and clear. The lens was not a burden, though I hiked a lot.

Not sure what to write as I am a big Nikon fan. I bought refurbished lense and it looks like there is still some problem with it. It doesn't go in continues mode, takes time to focus and after click it creates some very unusual sound with lense movement from inside.

Consistent Output

Lens Creep

I get to know a lens, zoom or prime, after about a few thousand images through it. After about 3k's of shooting, this lens has come on to be a favourite companion for urban and candid shooting.

The images produced are almost as convincing as a higher end expensive lens; Small for a powerfull zoom; Lightweight and stealth friendly; My favourite for urban journalism; VR lets me shoot in low light like never before; Bargain cost

Plastic mount

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Adjust while taking pics; Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Strong Construction; Zoom inout clear pics

Slow lens

Affordable; long reach

No Vibration Reduction

Simple zoom lens for Nikon, ok its not the latest lens but this means it is much cheaper and for someone who is starting out with a DSLR its ideal as a gift.

great for entry level DSLR's

wide focal length

narrow aperture

This fine telephoto zoom lens allows me to achieve just what I wanted - sharp mountain views.

Easy to use
