The newest addition to Nikon's world-class Nikkor lens lineup, the DX Nikkor series was developed for professional and advanced amateur digital SLR users who demand high optical performance.

Anthony Armijo Said: Great Product ( Nov. 16th 2009 )
Works good, got it refurbished for $180 but it would have been nice if it went to 250 or 300mm zoom rather than just 200 but it works great for the price. I am still able to get good pictures in amateur soccer games.
YakButter Said: Light and Sharp! ( Nov. 10th 2009 )
What a wonderful lens! I bought this on a whim. I had the 18-200 VR, but I knew if it's shortcomings resolution-wise. I read a lot of great reviews for this lens and figured for $200, why not? I was blown away at how sharp this sucker is! It is incredibly light and small as well. Obviously for night use, it will need a super steady hand or a tripod, as it is not 2.8... but during the day and dusk it is exceptional. The VR REALLY helps a lot. Alsom the 200mm is more real than the 18-200's 200mm, if that makes sense. I did a side-by-side test and this lens went a tad further. Weird, huh? For outdoor sports, landscapes, etc. this lens is a MUST BUY for telephoto work. Did i mention that it is really sharp, even wide open.
K. Laperle Said: Love this lens, wish it was a bit less expensive! ( Nov. 8th 2009 )
This is a great lens, very versatile and perfect for novice photographers like myself. I only wish Nikkor lenses were not so expensive. Overall, the quality is great and the pictures come out fantastic.
Richard H. Miller Said: Nice mid range lense ( Oct. 16th 2009 )
I picked this up for taking photos at my daughters soccer games and I have not been disappointed. In bright sunlight it is great for capturing rapid action sequences of photos from the sidelines - making for some fantastic action shots. In less than optimal lighting, it wont rapid fire, but still takes nice quality photos - I just have to time it better. Good solid purchase.
L. Diaz Said: A great Lens ( Sep. 22nd 2009 )
It's an excellent option for a reasonable price and the best part is that it's lighter !
