Review on Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Lens with Vibration Reduction, New in Bulk Packaging (White Box) by Ka Sem ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

I have tested two 55-200s with and without VR. Both are perfectly sharp, which is simply gorgeous for this price range. The lens is light, at the minimum focal length it is quite compact. It’s the best thing for traveling, because even if something happens to it, it will be much less offensive than breaking glass for $ 2022. For an objective, you need a fairly firm hand or a device with working ISO400-800, in the shade, in cloudy weather - very important. When used with 18-55 or 16-85, it completely covers the entire range of focal lengths for the layman. All in all, an excellent choice. Before a responsible photo hunt, I recommend practicing on soap bubbles. An excellent test for the lens and the photographer.

Pros
  • 1. Price. Native Nikon glass, for $ 200 with a focal length of up to 200. This is a gift for all beginner amateur photographers. 2. Built-in stub. 3. Sharp at all focal lengths. 4. Good equipment (case, covers). 5. Weight light enough for a zoom 6. Motor. 7. A fairly common diameter of the outer ring is 52mm
Cons
  • 1. Working apertures up to F / 13. Then it starts to lather. It is difficult to say - a feature of this instance or not. 2. Works out the stub a little worse at the long end compared to 75-300

Great lens! Take it without hesitation! If you find it made in Japan, you're lucky!
