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.

Work as describe. Work on D40. Obviously not a prime lens. But, IMO, every photographer use Photoshop or similar.

5 out of 5 stars Tremendo Lente de Nikon lo recomiendo 100%!!!!! es Excelente!!   February 24, 2010

Este objetivo es nítido incluso con aberturas grandes, el VR (estabilizador de imagen) funciona muy bien, la velocidad del autofoco es más que aceptable (muy rápido), y es muy ligero y compacto. El hecho de que cueste menos de 225 dólares y ademas posea un VR eficaz es bastante sorprendente, ninguna otra compañía ofrece un lente con esta función a este precio.

En cuanto a la calidad de imagen, busque en los sitios de fotos blogs distintos de Internet, como dpreview y Nikonians y las fotos de muestra tomadas con este objetivo por los usuarios del lente y los resultados son impresionantes!

Le doy al lente 5 estrellas basándome en una combinación de calidad de la imagen, el valor, y lo portable de este objetivo.



5 out of 5 stars Great lens at a great price.   February 24, 2010
Jared M. Leblanc (Little Elm, TX United States)
This is a great lens to add to your collection. I own the D40 which comes with the 18-55mm lens, and found that it was insufficient to capture all of the photos that I needed to take. What I have quickly figured out (and liked) about this lens is that the VR function does more than just steady a highly zoomed shot. I figured out that I can use this function in dimly lit situations, like night shooting or indoor shooting with out a flash and the VR will virtually eliminate any motion blur that you would normally experience from a longer shutter speed. Plus, you can't beat this price! Phenomenal lens for the price.
