Digital camera reviews of Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Zoom Nikkor Lens
Digital camera Review: Great Beginner Zoom Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, I'm quite happy with this lens. I just bought my first DSLR about 2 months ago (the D3000) and bought this about one month ago. Since I've only had it for a short time, I can't speak for its longevity, but from what I found in my research it looks like these will last a long time if you're careful with them. The all plastic construction was one concern I had before buying it, but after holding one and getting to use it, it does feel solid and built well for a $200 zoom lens.
The VR definitely comes in handy with this, too. The zoom power actually took me by surprise. Obviously I'm new to SLR photography, but it was a pleasant surprise to see just how close you can get to your subject with this lens. I'm very happy with this purchase.
