Comments about Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens:

I use it to take indoor and outdoor pictures of people and equipment. It is easy to swap out. It is not much bigger than the 18-55mm I usually have on the camera. The pictures are consistently top notch.

love it

Comments about Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens:

I've taken photos in several hockey rinks of my grandson's play. I am very pleased with the photos taken with this lense. They are sharp and clear. The lighting has not been a problem even though I shoot at a higher speed. I did have to get used to the fact that by using a zoom, you cannot capture a lot of the content which surrounds the subject.

Comments about Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Zoom Lens:

A great lens at an affordable price. Proven Nikon quality that does not disappoint. A verstaile "walking around" lens that I would keep on my camera under most circumstances.
