One of the best affordable lens I've use Had to order an extra Takes sharp and clean images and the cost is not compared to the quality it offers

Superior results at a minimun cost. The lens delivers clarity and sharpness that I never expected in a cheap lens. With auto-focus yet! Thank you Adorama.

I'd recently bought a beautiful Nikon and wanted a zoom lens for it. Even if I had decided not to buy the lens from Adorama, the value of the information I got about the lens from the Adorama website cannot be underestimated. (It's always where I start camera-related research.) So - the lens. The lens is much easier to use than I anticipated. It locks easily into the camera casing, and it's surprisingly light. The last camera I had with a zoom was somewhat heavy to begin with, and with the zoom, it was almost unmanageable. The Nikon lens is lightweight and very easy to manage, even for someone who is far from a professional. I've rarely had any out-of-focus shots when using this lens (and am prepared to admit that I'm to blame when I do, and not the equipment!), and the images returned are crisp and clear. I used the lens first for landscape pics in NYC and have no doubt that I've come home with images I simply couldn't have gotten without it. After having used the lens casually for a couple of weeks, I'm eager to take some time and see what I can really do with it. I suspect another Nikon lens is in my future. One last note - not about the lens. I have ordered online from Adorama before, but I purchased this lens in-store. The service I received was exceptional.

Excellant except focus at or near top end of the 55-200 mm range. Best focus is at or near the bottom range.

My lens failed while using it to photograph a blacksnake at my house. I took 5 pics and then it would not take another without the flash. The aperature does not open very far. The camera is a D80 and I took it to a local photoshop to verify it was the lens problem. I'm considering a off brand lens as I'm very disappointed in the reliability of the Nikon.
