Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED - Pros & Cons

200mm Build quality is pretty decent for a consumer zoom
Color and contrast are very good on this lens and detail is
autofocus is fast and quiet
a surprisingly good performer for its price point
The system works perfectly and is silent
produces perfectly sharp images at all focal distances
really great performance for a zoom lens in this price class

No depth of field scale on lens
Focussing is quite slow for an AF-S
autofocus can be slow
feels less luxurious than the high-end Nikon lenses
Nikon camera show no chromatic aberration
lack of prominence of those ghosts
No lens hood was supplied with the review lens
The lens has no distance scale and no focus limiter
the zooming action was a little on the rough side
a bit of light fall-off in the extreme corners
lack of close-focusing capabilities
No coloured fringing was apparent in test shots
the ring is really too narrow for comfort
Slight vignetting could be seen at wide apertures
just fractionally longer and heavier than its predecessor

4.5

An affordable telephoto zoom lens for Nikon's DX-format DSLR cameras.Designed as a second lens for DSLR kits, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED offers an affordable option for owners of Nikon's DX-format bodies who want a medium tele zoom lens. Compact and light in weight, this lens is made almost entirely from plastic - right down to the mounting plate. Fortunately, overall build quality is good for a plastic lens and, coupled with the 18-55mm kit lens, buyers will get a very useful range of focal lengths without adding much weight to their equipment.
