    So far, this zoom has worked well. It wasn't the strongest zoom, but it is not too heavy, but seems well made.

    This lens came with my D3200 as a bundle package. I'm so glad I chose the bundle. This lens is a must have addition if you plan on getting close to your subject. It came with a hood as well!

    Got this in a bundle deal, was only $50 more than my D7000 with 18-105 lens, so really I can't complain about it at all. Using it for about 2 weeks. Has decent bokeh and images are sharp.

    I cannot vouch much about durability etc. I bought this with my Nikon D5100 and so far I am very happy with it. I was able take some very nice shots with it in our visit to Zoo.

    This lens was on special so I thought I would give it a shot. It is a great lens and does give me more zoom capability than the lens that came with the Nikon D5100.

    The lens goes on the camera smoothly. Need to use it more to give a more thorough review. This is our first purchase of a camera and lens set, so we don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems like it will be a nice combo for our picture taking needs.

    Shoot high-quality photos with this Nikon AF-S DX VR NIKKOR 2166 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens that is designed for use with most F-mount-equipped Nikon DSLR cameras and features VR image stabilization to help minimize blurring caused by camera vibration.

    Although product is highly rated, the openbox/store display model i purchased did not function properly when i brought it home. All auto focus features are inoperable on this lens. I am sure it is a great product if purchased new

    This is a great lens since it has the VB technology built in. The lens the bundle I purchased came with did not have this feature and you can truly see the difference in this one feature. Worth the extra money in my opinion.

    The only complaint that I have is the need for an incredible amount of stability when taking shots from a distance. However, this is a must even for a basic user.
