Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens
Customer Review: Great Lens - I Would Give it 6 Stars if I Could!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great lens -- I would give it 6 stars if I could! Especially at this price!
When I first realized that *ONLY* AF-S model lenses would work properly on my D40 (i.e., fully functioning auto focus), I must admit that I was a bit bummed. This fact greatly limited my choice of lenses, therefore limiting my pricing options. But when I found out there was an AF-S telephoto for less than $250, I just had to buy it!
This lens works great, takes great pictures, and is super focused (and super stable especially at long distances thanks to the VR technology). And at close physical ranges, the shallow depth of field creates amazing contrasts between your main subject and the background. Used as a macro, the subject pops into focus beautifully, with wonderful bokeh behind it.
I could go on and on about this lens, but I won't. It is the best $220 I have spent in a long while!
