Very versital lense - Should have bought it sooner
Overall a very good choice for the Nikon camera. The lens is easy to zoom while shooting and the auto focus is a nice feature. When shooting multiple fast moving shots, sometimes had to play with the focus sensor to get it right. This was a minor concern compared to the overall ease of use.
Pros:
- great picture quality in low light no flash
Cons:
- sometimes tempermental auto focus

OK but you get what you pay for.
I had a requirement for a good 200mm lens for portraiture, of which I do a lot of high & low contrast 3/4 length shots. The Nikkor 55-200 seemed the likely candidate and the price was right. What I liked most about the lens was ease of use, smooth zoom action and adequate f stops for a 200mm.

Great value
I purchased this lens to be a companion to my 18-55 and I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the glass and the function of the lens. I highly recommend this lens to the beginner or seasoned veteran!

Never worked from the get go!
After much research I bought my first digital SLR camera, a Nikon D5200. To extend the camera's use I bought this refurbished model zoom lens based on its positive reviews. While using the lens it whirled and whined and would fail to focus but for the fewest times in bright light.

product is same as he described, but should add that hood and lens back cover are not included
Pros:
- product is same as he described
Cons:
- hood cover and lens back cover would have added nice touch

Great Starter Lens
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 lens for the money
I recently purchased this lens and have nothing but praise for it. Sure it won't match up to a $2000 zoom lens if you are pixel peeping but at this price it gives outstanding results and is lightweight and easy to use. Focussing is fast and quiet and the VR feature helps prevent shaky shots.

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
