Comments about Nikon 55-200 mm F/4 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor Lens w/ Vibration Reduction:
Great to have the auto-focus after using a manual lens for 2 years. Only downside is that when attempting a close up the auto-focus sometimes does not allow the shot - button sticks...workaround is to switch over to manual setting for that particular shot.
