Top Reviews  A great second lense for your Digital SLRReview created: 09/08/06 by:  36 of 36 people found this review helpful. The Nikon 55-200mm lense is a great medium range zoom lense that is pretty much the same size at the basic 18-55mm lense. The ED glass is top notch and provides a clear and vibrant image to the digital SLR sensor. Attached to my Nikon D50 it actually provides roughly the same zoom characteristics of a much more expensive 300mm lense on my old N60 film camera. The auto focus response is fast and accurate. One of my favorite subjects is my two year old daughter. She's a bit of a camera queen. If she sees me aiming she'll go right into show off mode. The 200mm zoom allows me to stay back a bit more and catch some wonderful candid moments we'll treasure forever. Shooting closer subjects allows me to use the lense to "crop" to the image I want instead of using a software package later. This prevents any unwanted loss of detail inherent in nearly all digital software zoom and enlarge processes (even top notch ones like Apple's Aperture and Adobe's Photoshop CS2). Portrait shots are especially improved as the extra distance you can get from the subject provides more dramatic results with aperture settings that soften the backgrounds making the subject stand out more impressively. At a full 200mm zoom I would certainly recommend a mono- or tripod to help give you a steady shot. You can increase the relative ISO value of most digital SLRs to help compensate on hand held shots but increasing the value also can noticeably increase the noise in the final image. Overall the Nikon 55-200mm ED AF-S DX lense is an excellent choice for shutterbugs and professionals alike who want a reliable high quality medium range zoom lense in their digital SLR equipment bag.

The 55-200MM Nikon zoom is about the same size as my 18-55MM which makes carrying both lenses easy.It delivers sharp pictures as expected. The only lens I would opt for would be the 18-200MM Nikon V which would take the place of both lenses but the price( approx.$1000 ) is a bit too pricy. Until then I'll just switch lenses as needed.

It has great functions and capability for its price but if you are trying to get use to some good lens and try to take pictures a little advance too much glass will be problem with this lens. You will have light problmes but still going to be alright with the correct light. Zooms in a lot but has no VR (vibration reduction) also. Stabilization would be a problem also when you zoom in. Whatch for the ghost effect. Review ID: 10000000000716876 Was this review helpful?
