 "A very good value for money" 2010-02-19

The Nikon 55-200 f/4-5.6G AF-S DX VR lens did surprise me when it came to sharpness. It seems to be very sharp throughout it's focal length range. I have not made comparison photos to test the actual sharpness, since i am not a complete nerd, but there seems to be no real degradation visible to the naked eye.



This lens is not fast though. The VR (Vibration Reduction) does seem to compensate for the lack of aperture when shooting portraits inside, but in good lighting only. The autofocus is a bit slow and seems to have problems in low light on my Nikon D5000 at least. This lens is of course a DX lens or a crop lens, which means that it cannot be used on a FX (full frame) camera, like the D3 or D700, without the cameras defaulting into DX frame but we are talking about a completely different price range anyway.



Fantastic for outside portraits and has remarkably smooth background blur considering how small the aperture of this lens is.



Pros: Very sharp, beautiful background blur, light and small, nice to operate. Great for any daylight photography.



Cons: Slow lens, slow autofocus, will have problems auto focusing in low light conditions.

I love this lens. Nice sharp focus, and the VR feature helps keep the image steady.

This lens is great!

It is sharp. IQ is great. It feels crappy but I love the shots I get from it. Bokeh is suprisingly good. Believe it or not, in good lighting this lens makes really nice portraits. Focus works good enough for me during daytime. It weighs almost nothing and is therefore a good compromise for a wildlife lens for hiking. VR works pretty good. I doubt you will find anything comparable for the price.



Be aware that it is almost completely made of plastic, is a slow lens that doesn't qualify for low light use, it has a pretty slow autofocus, a crappy manual focus ring, and no manual focus override. If you need any of that, you need to spend more money on a heavier lens.

Very nice all around lense. But if you use it indoors alot you may want to use a lense that is more light sensitve. Otherwise even indoors it gives excellent photos.

This lens produces really sharp pictures (when holding camera in hands) only when the light is very good. Otherwise, one has to use some surface. I was hoping for more, even though the rest of it is great.
