The details

At a glance: 55-200mm DX tele-zoom (82-300mm equivalent) with ED glass - light, compact, AF-S silent autofocus, no VR.

About this lens

The Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED is the ED-glass refresh of the original DX 55-200 tele-zoom. ED glass reduces chromatic aberration at longer focal lengths, giving cleaner results than the plain-G predecessor. Non-VR.

Build & handling

Autofocus AF-S silent wave motor
Image stabilisation No
Minimum focus distance 0.95m
Filter thread 52mm
Weight 255g
Construction ED glass, plastic mount

Works with

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

Best for

The light, compact consumer tele-zoom for DX DSLRs, with ED glass for improved chromatic aberration control. Pairs naturally with the 18-55mm DX kit. No VR - benefits from a faster shutter speed or a tripod at 200mm.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

No. The ED (non-VR) variant predates Nikon's stabilised consumer telezoom. Stabilised alternatives include the 55-200mm VR II.

  • 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.
