Drewhop Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am looking at this. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-55-200mm-VR-Vibration-Reduction/dp/B000O161X0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top It seems that most of the reviews are positive. Thinking about picking it up so I can finally stop using the kit glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I just bought the exact lense on black Friday. Best buy had it on sale. I like mine, you can zoom in on stuff far away and still be in focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thats a kit lens. Came in my kit. Easiest way to determine a kit lens for me is that most of the Nikon kit lenses have a plastic mount (the part that 'threads' into the camera body). You can see in the picture its got a plastic mount. I REALLY like the 35mm 1.8. It was the first lens I bought outside my kit. The images are friggin' clear because its not a zoom, all the glass is in its optimum condition. Its so light, and versatile (aperture wise) its on my camera 75 % of the time. You just have to move your feet to frame everything how you like it. Keep in mind a 35mm on a crop body is equivalent to 50mm, which is about the equivalent focal length of the human eye. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-35mm-AF-S-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001S2PPT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324952245&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thinking about picking it up so I can finally stop using the kit glass As noted, it is a kit lens. The one big downside to Nikon overall is their own lack of lens options. You either get kit stuff or very pricey Nikon glass. Sigma is a decent option in some cases.

Mitch Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Andy. I have that lens. You are welcome to borrow it to see if it is something you want. I get very nice results using it. Try mine out for a few weeks to see if you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have a Sigma (Nikon) 50-150/2.8 for sale if you want to have a better option that is still very small/light for a 2.8 lens. Just tossing it out there Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 why are you getting rid of it? Canon > Nikon My guess is he switched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbotrio Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Canon > Nikon My guess is he switched. Correct. After my car accident I couldn't keep anything steady outside of a kit lens or small 50mm so Canon offered a better line-up (For me) of "IS" lenses so I switched.
