Q: Will this lens attach to the Nikon D3200?

A: Yes, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II lens will fit, and work beautifully with, the Nikon D3200 DSLR camera. This compact lens is ideal for everyday use and provides amazingly sharp and vivid images, even in low-lit situations.

Q: Will this lens work on a Nikon D7200 Digital camera? AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR2

A: Yes, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II Telephoto Zoom lens will work with the Nikon D7200, which is compatible with AI, AF-S, AF and newer E-type Nikkor lenses.

Q: Is this fit for Nikon D3400 SLR? and what's the difference between DSLR and SLR?

A: Nikon D-SLR, Nikon DSLR and Nikon SLR are one in the same; D-SLR stands for digital single-lens reflex camera. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II Telephoto Zoom lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D3400 DSLR camera and will provide beautifully sharp images when used together.

Q: I have a Nikon d3300. I am a beginner with this camera. Do I need filters or a hood? If so, please make a recommendation. I am considering purchasing this lens to go along with my 18mm-55mm lens. Will the same filters work on both lenses.

A: The 55-200 VRII lens will work with the Nikon HB-37 Lens Hood as well as any filters that are 52mm. We would recommend the 52mm Screw-on NC Filter for most shooting situations. It reduces and protects the lens surface as well.

Q: Does it work with the d3300?

A: Yes it will work with any Nikon DX camera which the D3300 is one !

Q: Will this work with d3100?

A: The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D3100 and will provide beautiful images of action, people and travel. This multi-purpose lens has Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to keep photos sharp and videos steady, even during handheld shooting.

Q: Will this lens work with a Nikon D40?

A: Yes. It will work fine.

Q: is there a lot of difference between this lens and the 55-300mm lens?

A: The biggest difference is the further telephoto reach you can get from a AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens as compared to the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II lens. Another difference is the lens elements each has. The NIKKOR 55-300mm lens has 2 ED elements as compared to only one ED element in the NIKKOR 55-200MM lens. If you are looking for a camera that offers sharp images in low-lit situations you may be interested in the 55-200mm lens, as it offers 4.0 stops of blur free handheld shooting compared to 3 stops for the 55-300mm lens. Both of these lenses have a lot to offer when it comes to color, clarity and performance and both use Nikon Vibration Reduction technology.
