    Its easy to use and has very good picture quality. The lens is very sturdy. It's great for professional pictures, or everyday family snapshots.

    the 55-200 is a great value zoom lens for any Nikon that uses AF-VRs. My pictures have been crisp and clear, and the focusing time is very short. The only issue (which really isn;t with the lens itself) is that is inconvenient to use for shots that require close proximity (have to change back to my 18-55).

    This lense is a nice addition to the camera set. However, I rarely use this lense since the picture gets blurry if it's not far enough. Most of the time I use the 18mm-55mm lense. I would only recommend this lense if you enjoy taking picture of scenery or target that are usually far.

    It's a great lens for the price but if you want very close shots this isn't the lens for you. I will purchase the next power up soon

    Purchased with the D3200 camera, would have preferred the 55-300mm, but they were out and I really wanted to use the camera. So far so good, same great Nikon quality.

    For anyone who'd like to get a closer and clearer picture of the scene/person/event you want to take, this would be a good buy for you. It's easy to put on and off the basic dslr camera. It comes ith its own bag.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a very inexpensive starter zoom lens that can be used as your main all-in-one daily lens. Picture quality is very good as is the focus speed. On proper setting it works well in low light. You can tell why it is so low in price the second you take it out of the box, the main materials are plastic although the glass is very good.
