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: Tremendo Lente de Nikon lo recomiendo 100%!!!!! es Excelente!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Este objetivo es nítido incluso con aberturas grandes, el VR (estabilizador de imagen) funciona muy bien, la velocidad del autofoco es más que aceptable (muy rápido), y es muy ligero y compacto. El hecho de que cueste menos de 225 dólares y ademas posea un VR eficaz es bastante sorprendente, ninguna otra compañía ofrece un lente con esta función a este precio.
En cuanto a la calidad de imagen, busque en los sitios de fotos blogs distintos de Internet, como dpreview y Nikonians y las fotos de muestra tomadas con este objetivo por los usuarios del lente y los resultados son impresionantes!
Le doy al lente 5 estrellas basándome en una combinación de calidad de la imagen, el valor, y lo portable de este objetivo.
Digital camera Review: Great lens at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great lens to add to your collection. I own the D40 which comes with the 18-55mm lens, and found that it was insufficient to capture all of the photos that I needed to take. What I have quickly figured out (and liked) about this lens is that the VR function does more than just steady a highly zoomed shot. I figured out that I can use this function in dimly lit situations, like night shooting or indoor shooting with out a flash and the VR will virtually eliminate any motion blur that you would normally experience from a longer shutter speed. Plus, you can't beat this price! Phenomenal lens for the price.Digital camera Review: Pretty Good Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the 18-55mm VR lens for my D60 and wanted more focal length and took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do and after viewing photos and listening and reading other comments, asking questions about this lens and so I decided to buy this lens and I am very happy with it. It's been really nice taking photos with it, though it's not great for indoors, maybe be good with a external flash or something.
It's cold here and I haven't really bother going outside to take photos, but I do when spring and summer comes along and then is where I will fully test this lens, so far it's been producing some nice images.
I think if you got the 18-55, totally get this 55-200 VR. It's worth every penny!
Digital camera Review: THE BEST consumer lens bargain for Nikon DX cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
This little lens is the sleeper of Nikon consumer lenes. It is capable of producing some truly excellent photos on Nikon's consumer and and prosumer bodies. The lens is worth 50-75% more than its bargain price of $190. It is sharp and super lightweight. Perfect walk-around telezoom for my D90.
I own the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII, which I regard as the reference standard in size lens. And if that lens is a 10 (and by the way, the new VRII 'is really a 10'!), then this lens, which costs less than 1/10 the price, is an 8. Not bad!
Okay, so wouldn't use this lens on D700 or D3 (they are FX anyway), but for the D90 and models below, this is your lens. I have tried the 70-200 f/2.8 VR (the older version) on my D90, and the limitation is the camera. That is too much lens for the D90, and you don't take full advantage of the lens, more so for the new VRII lens.
For the D300, you probably want the 70-300mm VR or the the 70-200 f/2.8 VR ..or the VRII if you want to pay the extra money.
Yes, this is a plastic lens. And it even feels kind of plasticky. But the construction is reasonable for its pricepoint. Don't let the plastic fool you. This lens is fast focusing and accurate. And it is light too. That is a big deal on a long hike. It comes with a 5 year warranty if it goes out of alignment or the plastic stuff fails. And for $190, what do you care if it breaks?
As far as I am concerned this lens is a no-brainer addition to the 18-105 kit lens that comes with the D90. This lens is noticably sharper than the 18-105 lens in its range (55mm+). The only other telezoom choice for the D90 camera is the 70-300mm VR, which will yield slightly better pictures and give some additional range ...but comparing $190 for this lens to $540 for that lens, unless you really think you need the extra length, this is the lens for you.
I chose to give this 5-stars, because for the price and in its class, this is a really super lens. Compared to the Nikkor reference standard telezoom, okay, it is 4-stars. But that isn't a fair comparison.
Digital camera Review: A very good value for money
Summary: 4 Stars
The Nikon 55-200 f/4-5.6G AF-S DX VR lens did surprise me when it came to sharpness. It seems to be very sharp throughout it's focal length range. I have not made comparison photos to test the actual sharpness, since i am not a complete nerd, but there seems to be no real degradation visible to the naked eye.
This lens is not fast though. The VR (Vibration Reduction) does seem to compensate for the lack of aperture when shooting portraits inside, but in good lighting only. The autofocus is a bit slow and seems to have problems in low light on my Nikon D5000 at least. This lens is of course a DX lens or a crop lens, which means that it cannot be used on a FX (full frame) camera, like the D3 or D700, without the cameras defaulting into DX frame but we are talking about a completely different price range anyway.
Fantastic for outside portraits and has remarkably smooth background blur considering how small the aperture of this lens is.
Pros: Very sharp, beautiful background blur, light and small, nice to operate. Great for any daylight photography.
Cons: Slow lens, slow autofocus, will have problems auto focusing in low light conditions.
