Amazon.com Product Description
The newest addition to Nikon's world-class Nikkor lens lineup, the DX Nikkor series was developed for professional and advanced amateur digital SLR users who demand high optical performance. This 55-200mm lens offers such features as two extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, and a nine-blade rounded diaphragm. And thanks to the 200mm maximum focal length and 3.6x zoom, you can shoot everything from close-up sports shots to national park wildlife without standing right next to your subject. Other details include a super-integrated coating that minimizes ghosting and flare; a nine-blade rounded diaphragm for more natural out-of-focus highlights; and a focus switch that lets you easily switch between autofocus (A) and manual (M) modes. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty. - Focal length: 55-200mm

 A++ January 7, 2009
A+ - I use this lens with my Nikon D40. The worst I can say for this is that the auto focus is slow in dim light. Other than that, I love this lens. Tips for low light - switch to manual focus.
 Very good kit lens for Nikon January 7, 2009
I bought this for my son, who has a Nikon D40 with the 18-55 mm lens. He loves the lens and the ability to bring things closer to the camera. One of the best features is the anti-shake technology, which is necessary when you have the equivalence of a 300 mm lens at full zoom. The speed is a little slow for low-light work, but for the price - and it is a Nikon, after all - this is a great buy. Amazon had it for $200, which is two-thirds the street pricel.
very good lens January 7, 2009
I bought this to compliment my kit 18-55mm lens. This lens delivers as expected. Nothing comparable out there for the price. However if you have the money, get the 18-200mm VR, it is the only lens you will ever need.
Excelent service January 7, 2009
I received the lens in time and in very good conditions.
I'm very happy with the transaction

Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6 ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens January 6, 2009
As a long time Nikon camera owner I own a lot of Nikkor Auto Focus Lenses. They work fine on my 35mm Nikon Auto Focus cameras, however when using them own my new Nikon D40 DSLR they will only work in a manual focus mode.
Since my camera came with a 18-55mm lens I decided to order the Nikon 55-200mm lens to cover the majority of photo situations I would encounter.
The new lens is light and compact and like all Nikkor lenses, the quality is excellent. I ordered the VR version of the lens to increase image stabilization and limit any distortion while using the longer focal lengths of the lens.
So far the picture quality is superb even at 200mm. Since going digital I decided to invest in new digital lenses for this camera.
