User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Nice Lens
We decided to expand our options with this 55-200mm lens so that we could get some closer shots of far away sites on our vacations.

On a recent trip to London, we were able to take some great shots of Big Ben from close to #10 Downing Street without needing a tripod, thanks to the Vibration Reduction.

It can be a little annoying having to switch from the regular lens to this one and back again depending on how close or far you are from your subject, but that is one of the cost/benefit relationships of DSLR photography.

It would be nice if it would zoom a little further in on things, but there are always more (expensive) lenses designed for further zoom available.

I am happy with the lens and the options it now gives us.

5 Stars Great lens for the money. I use it all the time
