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.

This is great for taking far away pictures. I use it for taking close ups of my son when he's pitching or batting in his games. The quality of the photos is excellent!

Very lightweight lens considering focal length of 55-200mm, equivalent to 300mm on my cropped sensor camera body. And it collapses down to the same length as my 18-55mm kit lens which it complements really well.

This new telephoto zoom lens sports a compact, collapsible design, Vibration Reduction and silent focusing. It costs around ￡270, and in this review, we'll take a look at how it performs.

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 :(

Excellent lens!!!! Great price!!!!

Light weight..; Fast focusing

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.

Low light photos are quite shaky and blurr as f number is quite high in yhis lens. Tripod is mandatory for usage. The VR does not perform so well as in other nikkor lenses

Got it for rs 9999. A must have lens for travelling and entry level wildlife shots. Paired it with nikon D5200. Awesome bokeh and great shots in daylight. However it suffers a bit to autofocus in dark or low light conditions.

This is good been out take photos of wild life am happy with it's good start lens go. Good with my d 5300
