WHERE TO BUY
USERS REVIEWS
This VR lens is inexpensive (192$ -100$ discount since I bought it with the camera during Christmas). I can't think of a single negative point for this camera.
We had noticed that this 55-200mm Kit lens was sold with the 18-55mm kit lens along with some D series Nikon cameras, like our D5000 or the D3100. We bought ours with just the 18-55mm at the time. We did not need two longer focus lenses, but a matching VR DX G lens would be useful. The 18-200mm would have been nice, but we have a greater need for prime and macro lenses. Someone with the need for a better lens for low light with a higher zoom ratio should think about the 18-200mm. We have found the 55-200mm lens very useful for daytime nature photography. Even with VR a faster lens works better indoors, though with proper support, this f/4-5.6 will work, especially if you are skilled with post processing. The two kit lenses are a remarkable light kit to carry around all day with the D3100 and a couple 16GB class 10 SDHC cards and a spare battery. A light jacket or vest with zipper pockets held all the extra bits, plus a light snack/lunch. For heavier traveling, Our Lowepro backpack suits the purpose, but why carry what you don't need if you don't have to.
I was very unsure which lens to purchase when I wanted to upgrade the capabilities of the Nikon D3000 I purchased for my wife. After reading lots of reviews I decided go ahead and get this lens and my wife has been very happy with it. We use the camera and the combination of this lens and the one that came with it to take pictures of the kids and all those "scrapbooking" type moments and have been very satisfied. This lens stays on the camera most of the time and the lens that was included with the camera is used only when shooting close range photos (same room, small room).
