The zoom range of 55-200mm provides a picture angle equivalent to an 82.5-300mm lens in 35mm format and is suitable for everything from candid portraits to sports, nature and wildlife photography. The newly-developed compact SWM (Silent Wave Motor) has given rise to an ultra-compact, lightweight design with excellent handling characteristics. The lens measures a compact 68 x 79mm (2.7 x 3.1") and weighs approximately 255g (9 oz).
Two ED glass elements achieve high resolution and contrast while minimising chromatic aberration and other forms of distortion. The new compact SWM built into the lens offers the smooth and quiet autofocus performance that users have come to expect from Nikon's existing SWM.

I bought this lens as a second lens to my collection and it was
awesome to use and the distance that i could get was even better.
Recently went on a New Zealand Trip to the south islands and this
lens made all the photography experience just even better.
The only down side was i had to switch lenses everynow and then
to my 18-55mm lens to take close up pictures. Next buy when i get
enough money will be a wide angle lens.
Happy Snapping :)
Pros:
Easy to use, Compact, Build quality

My D7000 which I love almost as much as my dog (and keep it under my pillow) with the 16-88 zoom (NOT the give-away lens) is 90% of the time 100% satisfactory.
What's 10% wrong?
Just a LITTLE bit short for when I can't walk closer or blow up the amazing resolution. I could I suppose buy boys like toys and when it's as cheap as this.
Admission: I bought the 55-300 zoom. $100 more than this one, not to worry about. But Oh my it's so much heavier than the -200 lens and though 'they' say it's even sharper (VR is a MUST!!) I'll accept the minimal zoom reduction for convenience. A lens left at home is 0% as useful as an almost as good one on the camera.
The price, the price! Just get it.
*Mr Ted, the photo is of the 55-300mm but we love you just the same.
