Here are photos taken by my husband and I using a Nikkor 55-200 f/4-5.6 VR lens: all my lenses were Nikkor 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 VR and Nikkor 55-200 f/4-5.6 she returned to 18-55 f/2.8, but I still reach for the Nikkor 55-200 f/4-5.6 and d300 such as the Sigma 70-200 f / 2.8 macro HSM or Tokina AT-X PRO 50-135 f / 2.8 leave the Nikkor 55-200 f / 4-5.6 VR for the second camera - as a lens for vacation trips and other situations when I don’t want to take more expensive and heavy optics or I’ f/4-5.6 there are some! ) for those who want to shoot both a portrait, a reportage, mm at the long end is not enough), I hope my review will help you in choosing a lens.
