Digital camera Review: Great zoom lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens shortly after I bought my D3000. It has a great zoom that you can easily use thanks to the Vibration Reduction.
Even at 200mm and in low light my shots are never blurry.
It also makes great portrait, you can check out some pictures I added so that you can have an idea.
The only drawback I have found is the autofocus which can get pretty loud. The sound of it almost worries me sometimes but I have heard it was normal.
The lens come with a front and back cap, the lens hood and a case.
The pack includes a cap strap which is very practical, a cleaning kit that I use frequently and a UV filter. Opinions on using a UV filters vary, some people say it betters the pictures some say the opposite. I use it to protect my lens: I'd much rather replace a $20 filter than my $300 lens!
All in all, a great lens especially for low end DSLR like the D3000, D5000. A must-have for beginners.
Digital camera Review: Lens and accessories
Summary: 5 Stars
My order shipped quickly and was well packaged.
The vendor was excellent, and kept me informed of order progress.
I am very happy with the lens itself, though the cleaning kit and strap are on the cheap side. But they were not the point of my purchase- simply extras that came with it.
The price was excellent too. I would be happy to buy from this vendor again.
Digital camera Review: Love the lens
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item after reviewing previous ratings and a LOT of research as I was concerned about the budget. Initially my plan was to buy the 70-300 mm Non VR lens. It was within my budget and was thinking 300mm would help me to cover more distance.
But after reading reviews and comparisons I chose 55-200mm VR.
Reasons:
1. VR helps me a lot as I am interested in taking Sunset/Sunrise and do not have a dedicated external flash.
2.100mm doesn't make big difference. Read a quote by Ansel Adams "Best wide-angle lens? 'Two steps backward' and 'look for the ah-ha'" mentioned in Kenrockwell page.
So thought, for 300mm I need to move forward few steps, ha ha.
3. Have Nikon D40 so wanted a lens which works in AF mode. 70-300mm doesn't.
So bought in Oct, love this and its awesome. Except the add-ons, they are not very good quality materials. But this deal is cheaper than the lens in other sites.
Thanks for people who wrote the reviews....
BTW, the lens makes some noises while auto focusing and (releasing shutter if VR is on), and its normal.

I wanted a lens to go with the 18-55vr lens that I have for use with my D90. This is just what I got and it works well. Comes with a hood and lens cap keeper as well as a cloth bag to keep the lens in. Vibration reduction works just as it should. I am happy with this lens.
