Excellent carry around lens
This is a great lens as far as kit lenses go. I really struggled with either buying this or going for a used in great condition on a Nikon 80-200 2.8 lens. I wanted to try out Nikon VR lenses and as far as that goes it's O.K.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Lightweight
- Price
Cons:
- Weak Casing

55-200 f/4/5.6
I use this lens as a convenience lens on my backup camera: When the main body has a wide lens it gets me some reach with good results. When the main camera has my long lens the 55-200 gets me a bit closer and yet still some reach.

Just get it
My D7000 which I love almost as much as my dog (and keep it under my pillow) with the 16-88 zoom (NOT the give-away lens) is 90% of the time 100% satisfactory. What's 10% wrong? Just a LITTLE bit short for when I can't walk closer or blow up the amazing resolution.
Pros:
- Compact

Nice one - Auto focus is not perfect
You will have to switch to manual autofocus mode many times. However, no defects with the lenses and I'm enjoying the photography with this one..

Good product
It was definitely a good product. No doubt about that. Only problem was that Snapdeal faltered in the timely delivery bit. The delivery was rescheduled and the item landed well after the original deadline.

Takes great photos for my indoor basketball action shots under the hoop. Not too zoomed in but close enough for a great shot.

This Lens Is Sharp Even At Wide Apertures
This lens is sharp even at wide apertures, the Vibration Reduction (image stabilization) works great, autofocus speed is more than acceptable, and it is very light and compact. No other company offers a lens with these features at this price.

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.

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
