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.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus

Great product.... but the locking broke :(

This camera lens worked great with my D5000 but 2 parts out of 3 parts that locks the lens to the body has broken and will only stay on if you hold it in to place and the photos are now coming out burly because of it :(

I love this lens and use it all the time

I love this lens and use it all the time. I travel frequently, so this is great for taking pictures of the sights, wildlife - even some landscape shots. The range is good, gives you options without sacrificing quality.

THE BEST FOR BEGINNERS

I love it but I wish it could be faster on the D3200. I recommend it to junior photographers such as me. If you are a new beginner you have to buy this lens and the reasons are its cheap, its got VR, Its got a zoom rande of 55-200 which is pretty good for sports and wildlife.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II

I bought this lens to replace my Nikkor 18-200mm AF-S ED which seem to stop working all together, I thought it was the camera, but after mounting it on my friends Nikon D3300, he had the same issue I had. I paid $750 for that lens in 2006 and I like the size (72mm filter size).

Fine lens at a great price

I bought this lens even though I already have the older 55-200mm VR kit lens from 2008. They are both equally sharp, and focus reasonably quickly. This lens is quite a bit more compact, which was my main reason for getting it. At the sale price, it is a good value.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II

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.
