Times sure have changed. There's hardly a metal camera to be found and you can carry a bag full of equipment in one hand. The Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor is the latest lightweight from this heavyweight of the camera industry.

Plastic construction right down to its lens mount. This thing looks and feels like the label should say Fisher Price and not Nikon. However, looks can be deceiving as I soon found out.

After shooting with the 55-200 for a few weeks, I've come to appreciate what it can do. It's limited to use in good light as even VR can't change the laws of physics.

With sufficient light and good technique, the 55-200 is capable of very good performance. No, it's not as sharp and contrasty as the 70-200. It's also not going to survive the bad weather or a few solid knocks that professional use would expose it to.

Where the 55-200 excels is in its portability and above average performance. For travel or just walking around, it would be hard to beat this lens if it's used within its limits. I use mine on a D80 and have no problem getting excellent 13x19" prints.

I have to admit that I've gotten much more than my money's worth out of this lens.

If you're on a budget or just want a nice, lightweight lens in this range, take a look at the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR. Like me, you may be very much surprised at what it can do.

Excellent lens.
Light weight, good performance characteristics.
Images are very sharp. VR works great.
Would recommend this lens to anyone.
A good companion lens to the typical Nikon 18-55 kit lens.

  55-200 VR vs 18 200 VR
Review created: 12/22/08
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I wanted to purchase a 18-200 VR but our D60 came with a 18-55 and I hated to waste it. After looking at teh cost difference, we went with the 55-200. It has been impressive and has cut down changing lens drastically. We also have a 70-300 VR. She has had to change to the 18-55 only for her widest shots and is able to use the 55-200 for almost all of even indoor shots. It doesn't have the creep problem that the 18-200 VR has, is a good bit lighter and uses the same size filter (52mm) that the 18-55 does. My wife just got this camera this summer and is still a novice user but so far we are very impressed with it. If you are getting a Nikon and especially if it comes with a 18-55 VR, you should be well pleased with a 55-200 VR and it will be used most of the time. And for the pricee difference it is a great additoin to your camera.

Well made, light weight for a lense of this size. Produces sharp pictures. The Vibration reduction feature works very well and the auto focus is fast and accurate.

This lens is great! This is all you need for great picture taking! If you looking for that lens to get you closer to the action or just closer to whatever you are taking a picture or this is it! Highly recommend making sure you get the VR lens.

I bought the lens to get better shots at my sons soccer games. It works wonderfully. I need to get used to it a little more but the lens seems to work perfectly.

I was looking for a zoom lens for my Nikon D60. This lens isn't the best out there, but for the budget minded photographer, this lens fits the bill. Nice clean, crisp pictures. The AF is a bit slow to focus but it will do just fine in most situations. I use it mostly for my daughters soccer games. I would recommend this lens if you need a zoom lens, but don't want to spend a ton of money.

Decided to buy a Nikon D90 body instead of the lens kit to get higher quailty photos for less money. I bought this along with the nikon 18-55mm vr for a low price set up - this is less money than the standard kit.

The product is great. Easy to hook up to my existing digital camera. Offered on ebay for less than any other vendor was selling it for. I wanted to have more photo options and this improved my camera effectiveness many times over.

You simply can not find a better quality lens for the money. The pictures are crisp, with beautiful color tone. The autofocus is fairly quick and the vibration resistance technology works beautifully.

Review created: 06/18/09

Excellent zoom lens for landscape photography. I just love it from the day i got it. But i kinda miss my other lens 18-55mm. I hate changing lenses between my shots. I would say if u have enough cash than go and buy 18-200mm lens which is the default lens of all the Nikon Pro Photographers. Otherwise if you are tight on budject like me than this is the best 55-200mm lens that money can buy.

  Nikon VR 55-200mm Lens
Review created: 06/14/09
by:

This is an awesome lens allowing me (amature)to give the professionals a run for their money. Great at taking candid shots. I can stand at a good distance and still get photos of my son's face that appear really close. I can do it without distracting him, so I can capture his true character. The VR (Vibration Reduction) is key for me, because I tend to shake alot and with a longer lens it would often come out blurry... this VR lens put a stop to that. I love the lens. In fact this is the second one I have ordered. Unfortunately I dropped my first one, and was so heartbroken I immediately went back to the same place to get another one.

  Great lens for the money and compact size
Review created: 04/01/09

Very nice sharp lens. The big feature is the compact size and light weight. There are better lenses such as the 18-200mm @ $500+ and the 70-200mm @ $1,700+ but both are much larger and heavier. I have all 3 of these lenses and use them all. The drawback of the 55-200mm is lack of large aperture meaning more depth of field than may be desired and higher ISO or slow shutter will be required in low light. But you get what you pay for, and what you are willing to carry. Definitely pay the little extra for the VR feature.

All in all, a great lens for the price.

How could you not like this lens? 55-200mm with VR for $149?? That is crazy! This lens 10 years ago would cost >$1000. Some today with the same features cost near that. If there is no other reason to buy a Nikon camera (but, actually there are many) it's that the lenses are simply awesome.
