 Nikon 55-200mm F4-5.6 AF-S VR DX Lens, 2010-06-01
The main attractions of this lens for me are -
1. It complements the kit (18-55mm) lens that came with the Nikon D3000 DSLR camera to give me reasonably broad zoom coverage
2. It allows auto-focus and has vibration reduction (image stabalisation). My hands are a bit shaky so this is useful to me. Nikon build these features into the lens rather than the camera body.
These coupled with the fact that it was selling for the cheapest price advertised by any retailer with a good feedback record made my mind up. It arrived very promptly and was well packaged (though I did end up collecting it from a DHL depot, that's not the vendor's nor Amazon's fault).
In use it has worked flawlessly so far. It's a lightweight plastic lens with a rubberised effect coating on the barrel, made in China of course, and has given me very pleasing results. I gererally use it for static landscape style photos so I can't really comment on its suitability for action shots.
I dislike the fact that the lens cap isn't tethered to the lens or camera but that's a minor point.
Note that this lens is F4.0-5.6 and not F4.5-5.6 as described.
I'd like to buy one or two other Nikkor lenses but they either massively overlap the coverage I already have or the prices are prohibitive for an improving "snapper" like me.
 Easy five stars for this lens, 2010-07-09
If you're reading this you're probably on the verge of buying a telephoto lens.
This lens is cheap, and makes awesome pictures from range, even before I realised the VR was turned off. If it were £300 I'd still give it 5 stars, and I consider it an incredible feat of engineering for Nikon to profitably sell such a great piece of kit for such a low price.
This lens is something I don't ever want to sell (and I try to sell everything I own, if I don't use it).

Have used Amazon Market place to buy items before and not had a good experience but using Fulfilled by Amazon has been great! The lens I received was well packaged , also earlier than expected. Will gladly use this service again.Nikon 55-200MM F4.5-5.6 AF-S VR DX Black Lens
Perfect for my Nikon D60, 2010-04-10
The first thing that I found with this lense is that it came very, very quickly. Within, I say, 50 hours of ordering, it was delivered to my doorstep. However I do live near Stansted Airport, were it may of been delivered faster than adverage.
Now... I am a very ameture photogropher, at the age of 15, amd bought this lense after a year of umming and arring. And I have to question myself why I didn't purchase it sooner. This lense offeres a huge boost in my world of photography and a zoom lenes is much needed when you don't have one. It offers lovely, clear zoom and at full zoom, it still keeps perfect clarity. The "vibration reduction" is much needed because it's hard to keep a steady hand and when its off, people think you're going old with arthritis.
Another note: This product comes with a useful case and a lense hood, which I didn't realize when I bought it.
Happy snapping :)
