5 out of 5 stars Excellent zoom!   August 27, 2010
Malissa
After much research online and at various camera shops, I decided on this lens. I have three sons who play baseball, basketball and football. First, I tried it without the auto focus, but figured I liked the lens so much that it was worth the extra money to by the one with the auto focus and I am so glad I did! Also, takes excellent nature pics.


3 out of 5 stars So So   August 26, 2010

Well, i'm just gonna talk about the negatives of this lens.

1. Image Quality at high zoom (200 mm) is average at best. Under 150 mm this thing is great, tho.
2. At high zooms, the auto-focus doesn't always focus where you want it to. When i have it locked to the center, it sometimes 'misses' and zooms maybe a meter or so away when I'm at 200 mm, making the subject a little blurry :( I shouldn't say sometimes, I should say about half of the time. SO make sure to take a lot of pictures because half of them won't be perfect focus.

Those are my main gripes. This thing is still a steal at 200 bucks tho, but if you're looking for great quality telephoto shots, you may wanna spend a little more $$ and get something better.



5 out of 5 stars superb!   August 25, 2010
Jason P. Greinsky (NJ, USA)
this is an excellent piece of glass for the price. i was able to grab a refurb'd lens from beach camera for about $150 and i couldnt be happier. this lens performs as well if not better than other comparable lenses in the $500 range. the difference the VR makes is like night and day. be forewarned, this is a big and heavy lens, but for a 55-200 with VR technology its to be expected. this lens, combined with a nikon 2x teleconverter, and you should be extremely satisfied for nature shots, sports, etc.


5 out of 5 stars pleasantly surprised   August 19, 2010
J. Gilbert

Almost all my shooting is with a 17--70 zoom, but occasionally I need a longer lens. Willing to trade weight for the quality construction of a professional lens, i bought this lens. I also expected to compromise image quality. What a surprise ! Wide open is is very good and two stops down it is outstanding. And the image stabilization works.



4 out of 5 stars Given as a gift.   August 16, 2010
Donna Butts (MIDDLETOWN, MO, US)
I can't really rate this item as it was given as a gift. I gave it to my 27 y.o. daughter for her birthday to go with her camera she received for Christmas. She says she really likes the ease of use. This is her first SLR-D camera.
