Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED Lens — Pre-Owned
The Nikon 55-200mm VR is a versatile and compact telephoto zoom designed specifically for DX-format DSLRs, offering a powerful 82.5-300mm equivalent focal range. This lens is an essential addition to any photographer’s kit, providing the necessary reach to isolate subjects in portraiture or capture distant details in wildlife and sports photography. Featuring Nikon’s Vibration Reduction technology, it ensures stable results even when shooting handheld at the maximum zoom.

Telephoto Reach & Optical Performance
Powerful 300mm Equivalent Reach: The long focal lengths are ideal for bringing distant scenes closer and creating professional background compression that makes your subjects pop.

Vibration Reduction (VR): The integrated image stabilization system compensates for up to three stops of camera shake, allowing you to capture crisp images in low light or at slow shutter speeds without a tripod.

ED Glass for Clarity: One Extra-low Dispersion (ED) element significantly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring your telephoto shots remain clear and color-accurate.

Super Integrated Coating: Applied to individual lens elements, this coating suppresses flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast and vivid colors even in harsh, direct lighting.

Fast, Quiet, and Precise Handling
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Experience fast and nearly silent autofocus that is perfect for both candid stills and smooth video recording.

Internal Focusing (IF): The internal focusing design means the lens length never changes during operation, leading to faster focus speeds and better balance.

Full-Time Manual Override: Gain instant creative control by simply rotating the focus ring at any time to make manual adjustments—no need to flip a switch.

Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm: This feature creates a smooth and natural quality in out-of-focus areas (bokeh), enhancing the look of your portraits and shallow depth-of-field shots.

Zoom Ring: This unit shows visible ring wear on the rubber zoom grip, consistent with regular professional use.
