Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G VR II Review

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f/4–5.6G VR II Verdict

Collapsible lenses appear to be in fashion at the moment, and the smaller size will appeal to those who don't fancy carrying a large bag full of lenses around with them at all times.

This lens certainly isn't a bad one, with performance around the level you'd expect from an entry-level optic. What is surprising is the price, with it retailing for £100 more than the non-collapsible equivalent. The price will need to drop in time for this lens to offer real value to the consumer.
