Nikon 55-200mm VR Lens is the Macro Telephoto “Lens of the Year”
Some Nikon camera lens reviews are already calling ithe Nikon 55-200mm VR the “lens bargain of the year.”
Considered an entry level lens, Nikon 55-200mm VR (vibration reduction) retails for about $250. It was released in April 2007. The product is made to work with Nikon’s D-80 and D40/D40x cameras. It features a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet auto-focusing. The Vibration Reduction will ease handheld use by stabilizing and reducing camera shake.
Nikon claims the VR technology will produce more crisp and clear photographs. Some reviewers have said that non-VR camera lenses will become obsolete.

I bought this lens two days after it came out and WOW! It’s amazing! It makes a huge difference when shooting at slower shutter speeds and the image quality without VR is just way better than the kit lens that came with my D50. The price is great! Don’t think, just go buy one. You can’t go wrong.
If you are on a tight budget yet long for the advantage of VR in a Nikon lens, then this is your lens. VR is all that people rave about. It does make a huge difference! Try shooting handheld at 200mm wihout VR and compare the result shooting the same subject and condition with VR. You too will be amazed! This is one feature in a lens that is extremely useful.
