Nikon 55 200mm f 4 5 6G ED IF AF S DX VR Vibration Reduction Zoom Nikkor Lens 52mm UV Glass Filter Accessory Kit for D40 D60 D90 D200 D300 D300s D3000 D5000 Digital SLR Cameras



Kit includes:
♦ 1) Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
♦ 2) Vivitar 52mm UV Glass Filter
♦ 3) Precision Design Deluxe 6 Piece Lens & Digital SLR Cleaning Kit
♦ 4) CapKeeper 2 Lens Cap Strap

This 3.6x zoom features Nikon’s VR image stabilization and is perfect for portraits and action. Vibration Reduction reduces the effects of camera shake, allowing hand-held shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than without VR. An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, and a compact rod-type Silent Wave Motor (SW) enables ultra-high speed auto focusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation.

This Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV “fogging/haze” effect”, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. Perfect for digital, video and photo.

Keep your lens cap securely attached to your lens with the convenient, simple-to-use CapKeeper. Never lose a lens cap again!

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you’ll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including a Hurricane Air Blower, Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

5 Stars Awesome!
Product was shipped well and rec’d in excellent condition. It was exactly what I wanted. And the price was good.

5 Stars Nikon 55-200 VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
I just got this as a gift yesterday and I am very pleased with it. The pictures are crisp and clear and the closeups from distant shots are impressive. I would like to test it out more but for now I am impressed with it.

4 Stars Love the lens
I bought this item after reviewing previous ratings and a LOT of research as I was concerned about the budget. Initially my plan was to buy the 70-300 mm Non VR lens. It was within my budget and was thinking 300mm would help me to cover more distance.

But after reading reviews and comparisons I chose 55-200mm VR.

Reasons:

1. VR helps me a lot as I am interested in taking Sunset/Sunrise and do not have a dedicated external flash.

2.100mm doesn’t make big difference. Read a quote by Ansel Adams “Best wide-angle lens? ‘Two steps backward’ and ‘look for the ah-ha’” mentioned in Kenrockwell page.

So thought, for 300mm I need to move forward few steps, ha ha.

3. Have Nikon D40 so wanted a lens which works in AF mode. 70-300mm doesn’t.

So bought in Oct, love this and its awesome. Except the add-ons, they are not very good quality materials. But this deal is cheaper than the lens in other sites.

Thanks for people who wrote the reviews….

BTW, the lens makes some noises while auto focusing and (releasing shutter if VR is on), and its normal.

5 Stars G.K.Babu’s Review
As described Lens quality and price is superb. Item is in excellent condition. Recommended Seller. Thanks.

5 Stars No Brainer Sports Action
I bought this lens based on several recommendations about the quality of the images you can get with it. In particular, the lightness of the lens is a major factor. I recently bought the Nikon D90 I use this lens on and the combination is very easy to hold for long periods and to shoot sports with. All the pictures I took with reasonable light levels were super sharp. I used it to shoot pictures of my grandson playing football and even caught a sequence of shots where I zoomed between shots (1 second apart or so) as he scored almost right in front of me. All the shots at 200mm were excellent after discounting my sometimes poor selection of where to point the lens. The VR clearly was working as I was hand-holding for all my shots,

5 Stars Super Sweet Camera!
Love this camera, just got it for Christmas and was able to use it right away without any problems. It’s our first SLR camera, and we like it a lot! Great investment!!

5 Stars LOVE my new Nikon D-SLR!!
First, I have to say that I am an amateur photographer – just love taking pics of my kids, family and nice scenes. I don’t need a lot of extras … but have always been disappointed by slow shutter speed and, ultimately, missing “the” moment. (Espcially with kids!!) But I don’t have that problem with this camera! Its fast, accurate, takes GREAT pics and I’m thrilled with the “guide” (very helpful!). As far as the purchase, the price was excellent and came with many extras (carry case, lens cleaner, extra battery, memory card … and much more!) I’m very impressed and couldn’t give this purchase a higher recommendation!

4 Stars Good camera
I did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. I’m not disappointed in it. The photo quality is excellent. The automatic features are very handy and the manual override capability is very good. I have been a little discouraged by two things; one, the ‘info’ button is very close to the shutter-release button and several times I’ve pressed the wrong one and missed a shot, two, although the lens that came with the camera is very nice I will definitely need a more powerful zoom lens.

So, overall, I would recommend this camera. I will purchase the 200mm zoom lens and eventually get used to avoiding the ‘info’ button when I want to press the shutter-release.

5 Stars Good first DSLR
I’ve recently moved from slim digital camera world to DSLRs and the Nikon D3000 is a good first step. I like the battery life, picture quality and ease of use.

5 Stars Nikon D3000 and accessory kit including Nikon Gadget bag
After months of research I finally settled on the D3000 as my first DSLR. Next came the search for the best price.

As for the price the camera, lens and accessories included in the deal offered by Cameta Camera through Amazon can not be beat. With 8GB memory card, lens and gadget bag and extra battery the camera is ready to go right out of the box (after charging the battery, of course).

As for the camera I have been very happy. I have had a number of blurry shots but I truly believe that it is my lack of experience and not the camera. I am sure that the more I use the camera the better I will become.

Delivery time was great, my gadget bag was on back order and it still arrived within a week.

Great Price and speedy delivery who can ask for more

Nikon 70 300mm f 4 5 5 6G ED IF AF S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Nikon 70 300mm f 4 5 5 6G ED IF AF S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras




The AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is a high-performance super telephoto zoom lens that has been designed to meet the demands of both digital and 35mm format SLR users. It offers a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm on a DX Nikon D-SLR) and features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that ensure superior optical performance. This lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed that is four stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and quiet focusing action, and the nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fun lens
This is a great lens. Bought it for my wife as an upgrade to her DX 55-200mm f5.6. We have used that lens for about 4 years and love however it was a bit short for shooting our daughters sporting events. The extra 100mm is very nice and the quality is terrific. I would say we are novice photographers and enjoy snapping photos. This lens is fast enough for the casual use we give it and has not let us down at all. The build quality feels very good in your hands. It is heavy relative to the shorter lens but not too heavy that your hands are yearning to put it down. Lens hood is solid as well. I like that it has a metal mount vs. a plastic mount on our other NIKON lenses. Auto focus is smooth and zoom ring is smooth. I would heartily recommend this to any NIKON owner. Enjoy it.

4 Stars Great 300mm lens – hand held
This is a great lens for outdoor sports or wildlife photography. You can make sharp handheld photos at 300mm. I took several photos at Disney on the safari ride (from a bouncy truck) at 150-300mm … and they came out sharp enough to print at 8×10 and frame. (My wife hung them in the living room, so they have to look pretty good). Probably not the best for low light … need $$ fast glass for that.

4 Stars Be aware -this is not a true 300mm lens – fuzzy above 200mm
I’ve used and enjoyed this lens for about ten months and for sports and large animals it’s terrific. Fast and crisp focus from 70 – 200mm, as the previous review stated. But I too notice the drop off in sharpness after 200mm, especially with small birds. The problem is you feel suckered into going to the full zoom, because it appears sharp while photographing, but unfortunately the quality is disappointing when you get home to see what you’ve got. I also put the lens through home testing – at least 1/1000 shutter and tripod, to find it’s the lens at full zoom that’s the problem.

I still love the lens for most applications (big and/or close birds), but it shows you what A LOT of $$$$ you have to spend on high-end optics to get to the professional level.

4 Stars Sharp Zoom Lens
I bought this lens together with my D90 kit in Nov.,2009.

I had no time to use it extensively.

When I tested it at last week end, I found that it was quite sharp, but the auto-focus was not too fast.

I was not sure whether it was due to the D90 or this lens.

4 Stars nikon 70-300mm lens
I love it, takes great pictures.

The only bad thing is the length of the lens, I need to buy a new bag now.

I purchased it from Electronics Expo through Amazon and the whole experience was absolutely wonderful, I received the lens way before the scheduled delivery day.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars I would recomend it as low budget lens
This lens has very good value/price ratio and basically it is as good as they wrote everywhere about it. I am also very pleased with amazon service as all the products I ordered so far came as I expected. Just from what I read in other reviews people should be more careful and read product descriptions and not just order based on the image. Also I always buy things flaged as IN STOCK.

5 Stars Wonderful lens
I got the lens for my husband for Christmashe last year, has a Nikon D50. It is a great lens, the zoom is great easy to use. Yes is has alittle weith to it but that comes with good construction and stability. I use if for my nwphew’s may sports and I don’t have to be on the field or against the fence to get close pictures, most I get are from the stands. Mu husband uses it for hunting and brings back some beautiful nature shots. He also takes picures of my butterfly garden and picture of the hummingbirds all come out crip. The zoom is wonderful, no problem with clearity. All in all love the lens.

Pros: great zoom with clear picures

Cons: LITTLE heavy but note enought to cause a problem

5 Stars Great lens for the price
I just sold my 70-200mm 2.8 VR and decided to get this lens, much cheaper and lighter. I shot about 100 pictures with my D300 and the result is pretty impressive: Handheld with relatively low speed (100-250), stopped down to 8-11, pictures came out really nice, even at 300mm. VR works well. It’s no match to the 70-200mm VR on low light but at 1/4 of the price and 1/2 the weight it’s a fantastic deal. I only shoot outdoors and don’t miss the 2.8 from the previous lens. Maybe not great for pros but excellent for an amateur like me. BTW, needless to say, Amazon rocks !

5 Stars VR Is Amazing
I have been very skeptical of Nikon and other brands’ vibration reduction claims, but finally decided to give it a try with the Nikon 70-300 VR. The lens is well-made, with a solid feel for a plastic lens. The weight of the glass in this lens probably also adds to the feel of the build quality.

The optics in my lens are outstanding (I’m using a full-frame D700). Wide open in bright light and 300mm, it gets a little soft in the edges, but in virtually all other conditions it’s sharp and contrasty. I don’t have a high-dollar fixed focal length lens to compare, but I think the vast majority of amateur photographers would be happy with the results from this lens. The zoom range is huge, and I’ve found it works well as a portrait lens in decent lighting. The minimum focus distance is very long, so it’s not great for indoor photography in tight spaces, but it’s not really designed for use in that environment to begin with.

The VR works wonders. The first time I really tested my lens, I had just finished a pot of coffee before we headed for the dog park. Even with my hands shaking from the large amount of caffeine I had just stupidly ingested, the image in the viewfinder was stable and still. I was able to walk with the camera pressed to my face and still get good photos of my dog racing around the park. Active mode is extremely helpful when taking photos from a moving vehicle. If you are planning a Safari or any other activity that requires photography from a moving truck, this lens is a must.

5 Stars Outstanding Photo Optics
Quality built. Great to use on my full frame Nikon D700 DSLR. Images are clear and sharp. Resolution excellent.

5 Stars Shipping!!!
I can’t rate the camera yet (I’ll add to this later) because the box just arrived, so this review is just for Amazon. I had it sent Two Day Shipping, and it showed up at my door less than 24 hours later!!! Wow.

5 Stars Was not expecting so much!!
I was looking for a simple camera not too expensive just to have pics of birthday parties and trips. found a deal but this camera is way better thatn i thought for its price. starting with the size…it feels very confortable in the hand and is small.

picture quality is incredible for a point and shot digital camera, in 2 days using it i’ve taken pics that seem like taken with profesional cameras…it works incredibly well in the night with no flash and captures true colors with no flash as well (personaly i dont like using flash)

i works good in auto mode you feel like a pro taking pics. havent tried face detection or smile detection that much bec im not interested in those features so much.

usd cable is not the standar but i can use the sd cards to my laptop if have no cable

the start is not that fast but is compensated with the quickly shootting..

the anti shaking and vibration reduction works fine.

in conclusion my only complaint would be with the start time its about 4 seconds, all other features are just the best!! i would recomend this camera !

5 Stars Great camera and very fast shipping
I put two day shipping on the camera and it arrived in only one day! That alone made me happy. I have only had the camera for about a day and have only had a few hours to play around with it but so far I have no complaints. There are no problems with it and it was secure in the box it was shipped in. The one thing I haven’t done yet is use the Nikon software that came with the camera. I did install it but didn’t transfer the picture I took to my PC yet. It had no problems installing on Windows 7 64-bit though.

5 Stars Typical Nikon Quality
I replaced a Canon ELPH SD700 with this camera. The Nikon does not have the focus and lighting problems associated with Canon. I also like using the date imprint on prints and Nikon allows you to include this option at any resolution. Using maximum resolution at ASA 1600 is beyond most digital cameras.

5 Stars Travel perfect………..
I got my Nikon Coolpix two days before leaving for a two week trip to Thailand. My son-in-law actually advised me to get this camera for it’s simplicity and easy to use qualities. As usual,I am always late in getting organized. I ordered the camera from Amazon and thought there would be no way I’d get the camera before I left. It arrived in plenty of time. I had plenty of time on the plane to ‘study’ the instructions. Finally, in Bangkok and ready to shot pictures.

I had a blast on the trip and a ball using my new Nikon. It is so easy to use and takes great pictures. I have a wonderful pictoral history of my Thailand trip. I have clear, beautiful pictures of elephants and a cyrstal clear photos of ants marching one by one on top of a ledge. What fun. I’m not technical genius when it comes to new gadgets, but this Nikon turned me into a Ansel Adams, in my mind.

Come over I’ll show you the big elephants and the tiny ants.
