Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Nikkor Zoom Lens Review

Much more surprising compared to new standard package lens using the D50 was the development of the 55-200mm AF-S zoom included in a long package (it had been available too individually along with the D70s). Initially it seems to become another mid-range zoom--it's that small. The specs say this an AF-S lens, an Erectile dysfunction lens, along with a DX lens, which appears to imply something made to a greater quality level, but as you'll discover, individuals monickers are a little misleading. Then Nikon up-to-date the lens with a brand new optic design, adding VR, once the D40x has been around since early 2007. I'll tackle both contacts with this particular review, because they are near enough in many respects to become virtually interchangeable.

The immediate question everybody asks is that if an affordable telephoto zoom AF-S lens could be worthwhile. I'll help you save from scrolling lower towards the performance section: the initial was less than just like everybody was wishing for, but it is pretty darned decent apart from focus speed. The up-to-date version pushes only a little further, but adding VR was certainly welcome, especially because the cost remained exactly the same.

Once more we must discuss what DX means. All the current (when i write this) Nikon DSLRs (as well as the Fujifilm DSLRs) possess a sensor that's more compact than the usual 35mm frame. It's frequently known to as APS size, as it is not far from the frame size that now mostly forgotten film type. To wit, the 35mm frame is all about 36mm over the lengthy axis, as the Nikon DSLRs have sensors that are only for 24mm over the lengthy axis. This means that any traditional 35mm Nikkor lens comes with an image circle that's much wider than is essential around the DSLRs. The DX series contacts are made by having an image circle appropriate towards the more compact sensor size digital selection. Basically, these contacts are made exclusively to be used on Nikon DSLRs (and also the Fujifilm DSLRs). The benefit of a DX lens is it could be more compact and lighter than the usual lens of comparable specifications that must cover the entire 35mm frame. The DX advantage doesn't actually start working for lengthy telephoto focal measures, however it is relevant in the shorter focal measures of the lens, thus the more compact size.
