Paired with the 18-105 lens
By ElsinoreVerified Buyer from lax-san on 6/10/2009
Pros:
Easy To Use
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Nikon 55-200 mm F/4 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor Lens w/ Vibration Reduction:

With the 18-105 lens that came with my D90,it will only become useful when I get a doubler. I recomend a 50mm lens if you are only going to have two lenses for now, or like I said, a doubler to get 2X out of the 200mm lens. As a lens on its own, good pics from 20 to 100 feet.

Comments about Nikon 55-200 mm F/4 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor Lens w/ Vibration Reduction:

We bought this lens to shoot wakeboarding photos. It is the perfect length for photographing 80 feet behind the boat and the vibration reduction is a must, espically as we hit the double-ups! Highly recommended as the photos from our first two sessions are the best we have ever seen.
