The Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor zoom lens is considered by
many to be one of the best deals available to owners of Nikon's popular
D-series of digital SLRs. Originally designed for Nikon's entry-level
D50, the 55-200mm DX is surprisingly compact and lightweight (2.7" in diameter, 3.1" in length and weighs 9 oz.). The performance of the lens is equivalent to an 82.5- to 300-millimeter lens in 35mm format, giving you a lot of magnification for your money.
The Nikkor lens features a Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which provides for a smooth and quite auto focus. With such a wide magnification range, the lens is great for shooting a variety of subjects. If you search around you can usually find this lens for under $200, which is quite a bargain.
