Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Zoom Nikkor Lens + Hoya 52mm UV Haze Protector Glass Filter + CapKeeper Lens Cap Strap + 6-Piece Cleaning Kit – for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras including Nikon D40, D40x, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D100, D200 & D300 Kit includes: 1) Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Lens; 2) 6-Piece Cleaning Kit; 3) CapKeeper; 4) Hoya 52mm UV Protector Filter. ♦ Nikon 55-200mm includes: Caps; Hood; Soft Case; Instructions; Nikon USA Warranty. ♦ The Nikon 55-200mm is a compact 3.6X telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. Equivalent to a 82.5mm to 300mm telephoto zoom lens on a 35mm film camera, it is ideal for portraits, candids, sports, travel, wildlife, and nature photography. This versatile lens also has macro capability for impressive close-ups of smaller objects such as flowers. The Nikon 55-200mm ED IF AF-S DX VR Lens has Vibration Reduction (VR) which provides sharper, blur-free pictures at shutter speeds as much as 4 stops slower than one could ordinarily handhold; a Silent Wave motor (AF-S) for fast and quiet autofocus operation; Extra-Low Dispersion glass (ED) to minimize chromatic aberrations for vibrant images with superb contrast and high resolution; Internal Focusing (IF) for faster autofocusing without changing the length of the lens thereby providing more balanced lens handling; and a non-Rotating front element which makes using circular polarizing filters far more convenient. ♦ Hoya UV Filters are made of highest quality optical glass and can be left on your lenses at all times — even when taking pictures. A filter prevents environmental damage to the delicate surface coatings of the lens; shields the front element from accidental scuffs and scratches; and in the event of impact, absorbs most of the force — which helps minimize damage to the lens’s filter threads. A UV filter enhances image quality by reducing the adverse effects of ultraviolet light which can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy and indistinct. ♦ This Nikon Lens-plus-necessities Kit will help give you the amazing portraits, candids, travel, sports, wildlife and nature photos you’ve always wanted.
Customer Review: Nikkor 55-200, Great all around lens!
This is the perfect lens for everyday use. You can get up close and personal or step back and great some decent distant shots without having to switch lenses. I do professional photography for the sport of paintball and when I’m covering large events and I’m deep in the woods, I cannot just carry a huge backpack with all my lenses, so I just put the 55-200 on and I can get all the shots I need without losing clarity or missing “the shot” while changing a lens. The added bonus of VR technology makes getting the dramatic shots that much easier. The cleaning kit and filter complete a great package for a great price.
Customer Review: Excellent Addition to a Great Camera
I ordered this lens after many 5* reviews and I am glad that I did. The lens was shipped and received VERY quickly and in mint condition. The added accessories with this lens are a welcome bonus since the cost of this lens by itself in stores is more than this kit (And I didn’t have to pay tax or shipping!.) I am VERY new to DSLR photography so all of the extras are a big help!
