Digital camera reviews of Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens
Digital camera Review: Capable
Summary: 4 Stars
In well lit conditions the is a great lens. Pictures are nice and crisp and the zoom is much better then the kit lens. The only problem is...once the sun starts going done, the lens quickly becomes much less usable. Pictures come out dark and fuzzy. Typically once that happens I just switch over to my kit lens which is much more capable in lower light conditions.
So basically, if you plan on using this is sunny conditions, go for it, great lens. But if you're looking for something more flexible, get something with a better (lower) f-stop.
