The Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Lens
is a versatile and ultra-compact telephoto zoom lens that offers a 3.6x
zoom range, ideal for portraiture, sports or wildlife photography. Its
equivalent focal length in 35mm terms, when used on a digital camera, is
82-300mm. It is the ideal companion to the DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED
standard zoom lens.
The innovative Vibration Reduction (VR) system allows handheld
telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. It minimizes
image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting
at a shutter speed 3 stops (8 times) faster. The Nikon Super Integrated
Coating used in this lens minimizes ghosting and flare to provide even
higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light
conditions.
This G-type Nikkor lens is designed with no aperture rings, and
offers easier, virtually mistake-free operation because the aperture
does not need to be set to minimum.
Note: DX-Nikkor lenses are engineered and optimized for
use on Nikon DX-format D-SLRs and are designed to cover the smaller
image area of the DX sensor. When a DX lens is mounted on an FX-format
Nikon D-SLR, the camera's DX-Crop Mode is automatically engaged,
introducing a 1.5x magnification (cropping) factor.
Note: VR feature will only work with Nikon's D100, D200 & D1 and D2-series, or any newer model camera.
Note: AF-S feature is not supported by certain camera models. Please click here for a list of compatible models.
