Amazon.com Product Description
The newest addition to Nikon's world-class Nikkor lens lineup, the DX Nikkor series was developed for professional and advanced amateur digital SLR users who demand high optical performance. This 55-200mm lens offers such features as two extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, and a nine-blade rounded diaphragm. And thanks to the 200mm maximum focal length and 3.6x zoom, you can shoot everything from close-up sports shots to national park wildlife without standing right next to your subject. Other details include a super-integrated coating that minimizes ghosting and flare; a nine-blade rounded diaphragm for more natural out-of-focus highlights; and a focus switch that lets you easily switch between autofocus (A) and manual (M) modes. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty. - Focal length: 55-200mm

 Great Lens for the Dollars October 9, 2008
Rodney VanNatta (Hartland, WI)
This is a great lens for the average photographer who is looking to get some up close shots and not have to spend a lot of money. I definately recommend going with the VR. I primarily use it outdoors and for sports/athletics. Good picture quality but needs good light. I haven't taken many pictures indoors but don't expect it to provide as good of pictures as outdoors.
 Nice! October 2, 2008
Jeremy Coo Yap Tan (Bacolod City, Philippines)
Very sharp lens, smooth zoom, light, a great lens that goes with nikon's d40, d40x, and d60 :)
 Slow, but considering the price it's not bad at all. September 18, 2008
Karlo Pacheco (Buffalo, NY)
I was quite disappointed with the auto-focus of this lens coz it's slow, but considering that it's cheap, it's not bad at all.
Totally love it! August 30, 2008

There are so many good reviews already, I just wanted to say again what a great lens this is! I take pictures of my baby with it all the time, and can't believe how well this lens performs.

No complaints, I use it in addition to the 18-55 that came with my d40x.
