I just bought this lens so cheap. Very light and sharp. Nice for walking around. The pictures are amazing for the price. Not 2.8 but VR really helps.
Pros:
- light
- sharp
Cons:
- build quality but not a big problem

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

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.

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.

persseverent amateur
Good quality plastic lens, not for a pro ( which I also am not), lightweight and fast focusing. No issue with the plastic ring mount, I hope it will hold up well.
Pros:
- Good quality plastic lens, not for a pro ( which I also am not), lightweight and fast focusing
- No issue with the plastic ring mount, I hope it will hold up well
Cons:
- Not as versatile as my 18-200mm VR that came with my D200
- but since I carry 2 bodies at all times
- it does not make much of a diffrence

I love this lens. It's one of the available kit lenses for the D5000 I bought recently. It's light weight and produces some extremely crisp results. The zoom action is very smooth and the VR feature works quite well in low light, allowing hand-held images to be taken where a tripod would have to be...
