About this lens

The Nikon AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED DX is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom designed specifically for Nikon's DX (APS-C) DSLRs. Released in 2007 as a natural pairing with 18-55mm kit zooms, it extends reach up to a 300mm equivalent focal length on crop sensors.

Build & handling

Autofocus AF-S silent wave motor (works on all Nikon DSLRs)
Minimum focus distance 1.1m
Filter thread 52mm
Weight 255g

Works with

  • Nikon F-mount DX (APS-C) DSLRs - all bodies including entry-level
  • Not designed for Nikon full-frame (FX) DSLRs - heavy vignetting at wide settings

Best for

The classic "second lens" for DX body owners — adds useful telephoto reach without significantly adding bulk or cost. Well-suited to family photography, sports from the sidelines, and travel. The non-VR original version; the later 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II added stabilisation. Not designed for full-frame Nikon bodies (will vignette heavily).

Frequently asked questions

Does this have VR?

No - this is the original non-VR version. The later AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED II added stabilisation.

Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?

Yes. The built-in AF-S silent-wave motor handles autofocus in-lens, so this works on every Nikon F-mount DSLR including entry-level bodies.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
