Product Description ------------------- The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 G ED VR II Lens is a collapsible telephoto zoom lens that boasts a serious size advantage. Compact, light and easy-to-handle, it's an ideal partner for smaller DX-format cameras. With a flexible focal range up to 200 mm, this zoom lens is used for close-ups of distant subjects, travel s, sporting adventures and amateur wildlife photography. The streamlined body means you can shoot telephoto without carrying heavy gear and the retractable lens mechanism lets you collapse the lens for additional portability. The optical construction delivers dynamic, high-contrast images, and autofocus is fast, precise and super-quiet. Crucially for a telephoto lens, Nikon's Vibration Reduction system enables blur-free images, even when shooting at the far end of the telephoto range. The NIKKOR 55-200 mm is a way to discover the creative advantages of shooting telephoto. Get right in the middle of the action at sporting events, capture wildlife from afar, isolate subjects against impressive cityscapes or close in on the drama when filming a movie. The compact build makes this an especially comfortable lens to handle and the high-quality optical construction produces beautifully sharp photos and videos even when shooting handheld. For extra reach without the extra weight, it doesn't get much lighter than this. Designed to enable more stable handheld shooting, Nikon's Vibration Reduction system lets you shoot at up to four stops slower, without the image-degrading blur that can be caused by camera shake. A way to counter the effects of camera shake is essential when shooting telephoto and Nikon's VR technology is renowned for its ability to deliver clear, blur-free images at any focal length. It helps immensely when you shoot in low light, or when you're zooming in to capture distant subjects. Engineered to draw high performance from your DX-format camera, the AF-S NIKKOR 55-200 mm lens delivers quality results every time. The optical design features 13 elements in nine groups, including an extra-low dispersion glass element that helps minimise chromatic aberration for high-contrast images. Nikon's compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology enables quiet, fast and accurate autofocus performance, which is a particular advantage when shooting wildlife or movies. Weighing just 300 g, the NIKKOR 55-200 mm is a mere 83 mm long when retracted, which is seriously small for a telephoto zoom lens. For those seeking a lightweight general telephoto lens, this NIKKOR also makes an ideal companion lens for the NIKKOR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR II zoom lens. Combine a small D-SLR camera with these two lenses and you have a powerful double zoom kit that won't weigh down your bag.
