Looking for a DSLR lens? If your DSLR camera is of DX- format from Nikon, then the Nikkor DX 55-200mm VR should be right for your camera. This particular lens is supposed to extend the coverage of the DX 18-55mm lens from 83 to 300mm. This lens is great for wildlife, sports and portraits photography, while being as equally good for day to day photo shoots.

Unlike the previous DX 55-200mm model, this new model has Vibration Reduction, hence it has the suffix VR. VR technology gives optical stabilisation, and at shutter speeds that is slower three stops. And since it is an Af-S also, that would mean that you can experience quiet and quick auto-focusing and also good compatibility with the D40x and D40, and the other DX-format DSLRs from Nikon.

What's good about the DX 55-200mm VR is that it is cheaper than most Nikon lenses that have VR. If you pair it with the DX 18-55mm II lens, it's just as good as the DX 18-200mm VR, only at a very much lower price. Putting together lenses that have short focal ranges are lighter, easy to design, cheap, and have potential of performing better optically.
