I like this lens. I recently bought a Nikon D5200 camera body and have bought two lenses. First lens was a Macro for shooting gemstones. and this lens is for general photography, Even thought it is plastic, it will hold up if you don't abuse the lens.

I had a Nikon Nikkor 55-200 lens with out the VR on it and it was so hard to zoom in and out i was afraid I would twist it out of the camera body so I bought this Nikon with the VR and it only has half as many arms that control the zoom part of the lens and it zooms out real smooth and only take 3/4 of a turn from the 55 to the max 200 zoom the other one took almost a full turn to go out to full zoom. it focuses very clear and stays in focus when frequently zooming in and out of a subject at the same distance as I use it for recording live music on stage where I zoom in and out on each player and it works great for that

After applying up filter, there is no aberration seen by my camera’s sensor to distort my pictures. I was quite surprised with the results. This Nikon lens works great. Many thanks!

Auto focus spends a lot of time "hunting" and even then, doesn't always get it right on my Nikon 1 J5 w/ FL1 adapter. This may be due to the differing lens systems or camera firmware, but I planned to use the in manual focus mode anyway, so I'm happy. Fully functional AF would have gotten it 5 stars.

Good focal length range, acceptably sharp for most end-use images. Rating speed vs. cost, a good trade-off.

Good addition to my walk-around lense, a Nikon 16-85. When I need a little extra length. Very light and small enough to throw in a coat pocket.

Recieved this today. Was bought *As Is* Ad said the focus was erratic and it just hunts on AF. Which Is true. Narrowed it down to a failing motor. I've Already ordered a replacement motor for less than $15. The focus works between 55-135 just fine. Otherwise the lens is flawless. Takes very sharp and clear images at 55 through 200. Extremely happy with this lens

Sharp, compact, vr is a big plus, excellent everyday general purpose lens. No cons except variable aperture limits minimum exceptions for me , that I could use a faster lens for.

The only difference between this lens the VR and the VR II is that the VR II is a smaller size then expands to full size. It makes this lens a bargain because it has the same specifications and to tell you the truth I like it better than the new revision. It's not heavy and has enough telephoto range for me. I like to use it with an extender for macro shots. The depth of field is short so you get a lot of blur in the out of focus range.
