Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II Review

 

Optically, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II is better than we expected it to be based on its budget price tag. Centre sharpness, in particular, is good at most focal lengths, although you have to stop down to f/11 to get acceptable...

Lens Review: Nikon 55-200mm F/4-5.6G AF-S VR DX IF-ED

 

Also, like the Canon, this Nikon lens lacks a focus distance scale. On this lens the manual focus ring looks almost like an afterthought tacked on to the front end of the lens.

Nikkor AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6 G ED

 

The Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR is an entry-level telephoto zoom for DX-format Nikon DSLRs. Launched alongside the Nikon D40x in March 2007, it's designed to complement the standard DX 18-55mm kit lens and extend the maximum equivalent coverage from 83 to...

Great value telephoto zoom ; Effective VR anti-shake facilities ; Fast and quiet SWM focusing ; Perfectly complements DX 18-55mm lens

Softness and fringing in corners at 200mm ; Build quality is fairly basic ; Basic manual focusing facilities ; Range less compelling for other kit lenses ; Scores ; (relative to other Nikkor zooms) ; Build quality ; Optical quality ; Specification ; Value

So while we’re very impressed by the Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR, it makes the most sense when complementing the DX 18-55mm kit lens. If you have a different kit lens, there’s more appropriate models to complement or replace it, but if you do own the DX...

Best Entry Level Lens: AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF ED

 

This new 3.6x telephoto zoom lens from Nikon makes the Vibration Reduction image stabilisation system available to everyone. This feature compensates for the image blurring caused by camera shake, which is particularly prevalent when hand-holding with...

Nikon AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f4-5.6 G IF-ED

 

A good ‘second’ lens for anyone with a Nikon D40, D40x or D80, but the older non-VR 55-200 is smaller, cheaper and optically better

Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED VR

 

When it comes to the image stabilization the fight for customers is, so to speak, led on two fronts. Two biggest market players – Canon and Nikon – even in times of analogue photography placed a bet on lenses with optical stabilization. After...
