Nikon AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G VR DX Review
This Nikon lens features 15 elements in 11 groups, including one ED element. The main difference from the non-VR lens lies in the way the VR works, requiring a compensatory lens group to be shifted by the VR motors.
Pros:
- Vibration Reduction
- handling
Cons:
- Price
- optically not as good as non-VR version

Nikkor AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED DX VR - Review / Test Report
The build quality is actually pretty good and a clear step up from the older AF-S 55-200mm non-VR. That said it is still a consumer grade lens with a plastic body (down to the lens mount). The very broad rubberized zoom ring feels reasonably smooth.

AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Lens
Handling The review lens was a comfortable fit on the D5000 body we used for our tests and the combined camera-plus-lens felt reasonably well balanced - although we feel a slightly heavier lens would be more stable at focal length settings beyond 100mm.
Pros:
- You want a lightweight telephoto zoom lens for Nikon's entry-level DSLR bodies
- You require performance levels to match the standard of Nikon's entry and lower mid-level DSLRs
Cons:
- You require fast autofocusing in low light levels (this isn't a lens for shooting indoor sports)
- You need close focusing capabilities

The main reason for the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 AF-S VR DX is the addition of the VR technology, and the first thing that strikes you about this lens is the light weight. At a meagre 355g, its really some achievement to get all it offers into such a small lens.

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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Plastic mount

Prisvärt!
Ville komplettera mitt objektiv som följde med i paketpris till min D60. Tittade på sigmas 55-300 och denna. Efter noga övervägande så valde jag ändå denna.
Pros:
- Riktigt bra objektiv! Det är mycket objektiv för pengarna
- det andas kvalité.
Cons:
- Det enda negativa jag kan komma på är att när du ska utnyttja den till fullo och ta bilder långt bort så skulle jag rekommendera stativ om du inte är så stadig på handen.

Fair lens, but workable
There's not much you can say about this lens that doesn't seem unfair considering it's typical 175 d
Pros:
- If this is what you can afford..
Cons:
- Cheap
- rotating front
- not that sharp
