Review: Nikon 55-200mm Zoom Nikkor Lens

24 Jan

Visit my official blog! — youngflyer12.blogspot.com This video is a review of the Nikon 55-200mm Zoom Nikkor Lens. This lens is a must have for the Nikon D60. The included 18-55mm lens does not provide the shooter with much zoom. However, this 200mm capable lens allows you to get right in on the action. The lens features Nikon’s Vibration Reduction technology in the lens to provide great optical image stabilization. Catch many more interesting videos on my channel. Enjoy!

    The lens hood serves a couple different purposes. First of all, a lens hood is designed to keep the sun or other bright light sources from hitting the lens and causing glare or lens flare in your images. Secondly, they also provide a bit of protection as it prevents accidental bumps with the lens.

    Hi, I got the Nikon D5100 + 18mm-55mm vr kit lens for Christmas. I havent tried it out yet, but im looking at buying a lens that i can zoom in and stuff. Could you please tell me the difference between zoom and telephoto lens’? i was thinking this lens: “Nikon 55-200mm Compact Telephoto Zoom Lens With Vibration Reduction (AF-S DX VR)”. Could i get bird and wildlife with it?how bout macro? Also with it, when u zoom in, does it effect the quality?or even if u zoom in fully its still same quality?

    I’m getting a D3200 for christmas this year (it will be my first DSLR actually).

    I’m planning on using it for portraits, and for taking pictures of the various robotics competitions I’m going to. Would this be good for INDOOR action? As in fast, 30 feet per second robots going around a field and what not, when I may or may not be able to get up there in the action with the short kit lens?

    Also, how is video with it?

    what’s the minimum aperture on this lens?
    because I’m thinking on getting it, but I’m not sure of how good can it be for portraits, or have a nice blurry bokeh on the back.

    In comparison to other lenses in Nikon’s line, $800 is cheap lol. For example the 70-200mm lens that he mentioned (I’m assuming it’s the 2.8) is about $2,500, to put things in perspective.

    does this make a noise when auto-focus is enabled?

    This is a very good lens, but where is sample photos?

    The lens you should get is all about what you want to use it for. A zoom lens like the 55-200mm is good for getting shots of things that are far away. When zoomed, you get less in the frame of your photo. A lens like the 18-55mm has various uses. 18 being wide angle, you can get quite a bit inside your shot, making it great for landscapes, but it gives a pretty good range up to 55mm, which is what they say is what your eyes see, roughly. The best of both worlds would be an 18-200mm, like he said

    Nice video. I have the Nikon D3100 and I love the 35mm lens. I use that more then any other lens. But I am planning to get the 55-200 lens later.

    They make an 18-200mm lens if you want “one lens to rule them all”. The 55-200mm lens is great for landscape, zooming in on the kids soccer game, birds, etc. The 18-55mm is going to be your inside the house picture shot. So pick according to what you want to shoot. Personally though, I mostly use the 35mm 1.8 now so the 18-55mm doesn’t get much use.

    Would you recommend getting the kit lens 18-55mm lens and the 55-200mm lens or one or the other. In other words could the 55-200mm lens do just as good of a job as the 18-55 lens. I realize that it is for more close shooting but would the 55-200mm lens be more of a “universal lens” becasue the store offers it in either 18-55mm or the 55-200mm kit. Which package would you recommend?
