Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF SWM has a very long name, so for the sake of simplicity I will refer to it as 'Nikon 55-200 VR'. This is an inexpensive telephoto zoom lens for Nikon DX cameras... Nikon 55-200 VR has a built-in focus motor and is therefore suitable for all Nikon cameras... At one time, it became a replacement for an older version - Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor ED 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G SWM, which did not have an image stabilizer, and in 2015 it was itself replaced with an updated model - Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6GII ED VR II, which has a lens parking mechanism.
In total, there are three such lenses:
- Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED SWM, was produced from April 2005 to 2007.
- Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF SWM, from this review, was released from March 2007 to 2015.
- Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6GII ED VR IIAvailable since January 2015.
Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF SWM Lens Overview
The focal length of the lens is 55-200 mm, which will allow using it for a large number of photo tasks. For example, with this lens you can shoot not very shy animals, sports, various events. It is no secret that a telephoto lens, in general, is suitable for shooting portraits, since it has a small distortion, does not distort the geometry, respectively, the faces are not distorted in the pictures, while a large focal length helps to achieve a small depth of field. True, the Nikon 55-200 VR still has a small level of distortion, but on the other hand, 200 mm focal length can be easily blur the background, which is sometimes very important for portraiture.

Nikon 55-200 VR belongs to the lenses of the most low price range, because you should not expect stunning results from him. The lens is designed for use by amateurs, for the pros there are much better lenses. Depending on the set focal length, the lens has a maximum aperture from F / 4 @ 55 mm and F / 5.6 @ 200 mm, and the minimum value can be set to F / 22 and F / 32, respectively.
Lens designations Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF SWM
The advantages of the lens and their impact on shooting and photo quality:
- Nikon 55-200 VR weighs only 335 grams. On younger cameras (used on Nikon D3000, Nikon D40As well as Nikon D90) It provides a normal weight distribution and holding the camera in your hands is quite simple and convenient. The lens does not pull the camera down.
- Zoom is 3.6 x, which is a normal indicator for such optics. The larger the zoom, the more complex the optical design and the more difficult it is to get good image quality. Also, keep in mind that the viewing angle of 55 to 200 mm on DX cameras is equivalent to the viewing angle of the lens 82.5-300 mm for full-frame cameras. More details in the section on crop factor. I used several Nikon 55-200 VR lenses and did not observe spontaneous focal length changes on them under my own weight (the trunk itself did not protrude).
- Built-in ultrasonic focusing motor SWM (Silent Wave Motor) - allows you to focus on all Nikon digital SLR cameras. This factor is important to owners of non-powered cameras by type Nikon D5200, Nikon D3200 etc. since they can easily use this lens on their cameras.
- Internal focus - when focusing, only the internal parts of the lens move, which means that the front lens and its frame do not move. This will allow you to use different filters without problems. I recommend immediately get protective filter, a filter diameter of 52 mm, filters of this diameter are considered the most common and easiest to find.
- The Nikon HB-37 lens hood comes with a lens. It is very pleasant that Nikon has not been stingy of additional accessories such as blends or caps for its lenses recently. The hood is quite large and with it the lens looks very solid. You can also wind the hood in the opposite direction and always carry it with you. With this installation method, the lens hood does not take up extra space, always on the lens. But if the hood is wound in the opposite direction, then it covers the focus ring and you cannot use the lens in manual focus mode until you remove the hood.
- VR ('Vibration Reduce') is Nikon's term for Image Stabilizer. it the most important aspect in this lens. The stabilization system will allow you to shoot without grease from your hands at slower shutter speeds. The instructions say that you can reduce the shutter speed by 3 steps, which is 2 ^ 3 = 8 times, that is, if you shot with shutter speedequal to 1/160 s, then now the same can be repeated with shutter speed 1/20 s without loss of sharpness (for stationary objects). This is an indispensable feature in the dark. For a telephoto camera, image stabilization is a very useful feature. Of course, the instructions are a bit exaggerated and in reality it will be possible to shoot at shutter speeds no longer than 1/60 s at a 200 mm focal length. There is a button on the lens to control the operation of the 'VR ON / OFF' stabilizer.
- The image quality is acceptable, it is useless to hope for something super-good, for it alone says its price.

What did not like:
- The lens is almost all made of plastic. The bayonet mount (attachment point) is also plastic. The lens itself is made in China :(.
- Auto focus speed is average. It's funny, but the Nikon 55-200 VR focuses faster than the more advanced model - Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6G ED VR SWM HRI. The focus ring, unlike the zoom ring, is not rubberized and rotates only 60 degrees.
- The lens does not have any additional marks on its body.
- During focal length changes (zooming), the rear lens moves, creating a “vacuum cleaner effect,” which can quickly contaminate the interior of the camera.
- The lens shows good sharpness at f / 7.1 apertures
- Nikon 55-200 VR has a weak macro, with a maximum magnification of 1: 4.3.
- The lens does not have a permanent manual focus control mode 'M / AM'. Attention: To focus manually, be sure to move the lens to the 'M' position. During autofocus, the focus ring rotates and cannot be touched. Alas, focusing is not the quietest.
Here link to the archive with the originals - 294 MB, 37 photos in .NEF format (RAW) from the camera Nikon D80.
From personal experience using:
The built-in image stabilizer can sometimes buzz and jerk the image in the viewfinder - this is due to the fact that the stabilizer still works for some time after pressing the shutter button and when you move the camera, the stabilizer holds the picture, and then it turns off and the picture “twitches” due to moving the camera. This is absolutely normal. To check the stabilizer, you need to turn off autofocus, turn on the stabilizer and press the shutter button halfway at this time, the noise from the operation of the hybrid gyroscopic drive should be heard.

If shooting at long focal lengths, it is advisable to use excerpts no longer than 1/300 - 1/200 s (if you shoot without the stabilizer turned on) and always remember that the stabilizer only helps to reduce the level of vibrations, but does not completely remove them - therefore sometimes you have to use a tripod. I highly recommend reading the article as take offto prevent blurry pictures.

Conclusion:
Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF SWM is one of the most affordable telephoto lenses for Nikon DX cameras. The lens produces image quality comparable to its cost. Me aboutI liked very much its lightness and the presence of a stabilizer. Due to its low cost, I recommend it as a good addition to a standard class lens 18-55 / 3.5-5.6.
In 2015, this lens was replaced with an updated model - Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6GII ED VR II.

I bought a D5100, will the Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1: 4-5.6G ED VR IF lens fit it? Thank you in advance!
Yes, it does.
Please tell me which is better to purchase: Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3100 + two lenses:
AF-S DX 18-55 f / 3.5-5.6G VR
AF-S DX VR 55-200 f / 4-5.6G IF ED
for the same price!
in general, d5100 will be more comfortable
I agree with the trot, the D5100 is more interesting, I used it myself. And the lenses included with the 3100 are not ice.
why not ice, please explain!
Anyone else have opinions on this? share please!
And d5100 with these lenses does not work? Then it would be a perfect place to start. The d3100 iso has smaller workers, there is no rotary screen, Already the dynamic range and lower rate of fire, there is no HDR inside the camera. D5100 has a different matrix and is quite good even by modern standards.
As for the 18-55 and 55-200, this is a great set to start with. Cover all focal lengths and the kit is small and stabilized. In my opinion, 55-200vr is much better than 55-300vr, although the latter costs almost twice as much. 18-55vr is generally the best lens for teaching. In general, the glasses are not bad. Then, if you want to see something new, buy 50 1.8g or 35 1.8g - play with aperture and background blur, although 55-200vr may be enough for portraits. Well, the flash is never superfluous, especially indoors.
Thanks for the advice .. I'm purely for myself. probably it’s really better to stop at d 5100, but the kit only comes with d 3100, which low-cost advise you to take to blur the background .. or in d5100 and without it you can create such an effect?
Well, there are two options - 35 1.8g or 50 1.8g. But I advise you to postpone this purchase for a couple of months and click on the whale one. As far as I understand, the d5100 comes with an 18-55vr lens? On it you will practice and understand which focal point is more interesting for you - 35 or 50.
If you really want to buy right now, then keep in mind that 50 1.8g blurred the background better, but it is very narrow and can be difficult to use in cramped conditions, while 35 1.8g gives less blur, other things being equal, but it allows you to shoot in closer conditions. Well, it is believed that the front portrait on the crop is made at least 50mm, but not 35mm. I do not completely share this opinion, but I'm not a pro, but they know better.
It will be convenient 18-105, but he won’t wash it out much.
or in general
Canon 1100D kit
For me, this canon is not bad among the canons (one of the quietest pictures, including a comparison even with 650d or 60d), but compared to the nikon d3100, it loses in noise and speed, albeit a little. And d5100 is much better than 1100d, as it seems to me. Based on the use of all three cameras.
I have a D3100. There is a problem of choice: Nikkor 55-200 VR, or Sigma AF 70-300mm f / 4-5.6 DG MACRO. Someone who will advise reasonably.
Thank you all in advance.
Nikon. If only because he has a stabilizer and it is quite sharp. And the additional focal points for Sigma are still such that they have to close at least 8, so as not to lather.
Well, Sigma seems to have some kind of macro. Or on Nikkor 55-200 is also possible at 200mm?
This “macro” is one name. In fact, there is a 15 cm difference in minimum focal length (0.95 for Sigma and 1.1 for Nikon). A full-fledged macro requires a dedicated lens.
I would advise the native Nikon, I myself am the owner of Sigma (an option for Canon), on the long end 200-300mm it is necessary to clamp the aperture to 11-16 to get a sharp image, on the short end 70-135 sharpness appears at 8-11. Macro 1: 4 is not a macro, but simply the ability to focus closer than 1,5m. Plus, my Canon’s native software, when shooting in Rav, is able to correct the distortion and chromatic aberration of native lenses, this is not possible for analogues. On the open aperture, the picture is soft in the retro style, sometimes it just infuriates. When increasing the focal length, the exposure metering system towards overexposure is slightly mistaken. In principle, having adapted, you can squeeze a decent picture, but the lack of a stabilizer is frustrating. Although he deliberately took a simpler version, since there are no repair services in our city (the simpler the more reliable). To summarize, I’ll say this: for study and shooting in good sunny weather it will do, in the presence of a tripod you can shoot in poor lighting conditions. If you plan to engage in photo hunting, you need something more serious and preferably 100-400mm.
Hello!
I want to take a telephoto lens on the D5200, there are 18-55 full-time and fixed 50 / 1.8.
I’ve already broken my head to choose 55-200 new (7000 rubles) or 70-300 ED-IF AF-S VR (10 000 rubles). What do you advise?
Already took this 55-200. Costed 5200r. Before buying, I went to the store and tried on what was available:
1. Nikon 55-200 (not VR)
2. Tamron 18-200
3. Sigma 70-300
4. Nikon 18-140
The picture was most liked on Sigma and Nikon 55-200. But Sigma is without a stabilizer.
so which is still cooler?)) Sigma or Nikon 55-200. I also choose between them now!
It is clear that you need to take 70-300.
Eustace to Vladimir.
The choice, frankly, is not so hot. And then Mr., and then Mr. I also wondered for a long time (about five years) what to take from the telephoto cameras ... Then there was no SLR camera either. Preparing for the purchase. I did the restraint.
Only then I had a version for as much as 7 glasses of 150-300 mm. With attachments and so on. I studied each glass carefully. I listened to smart people, read all sorts of reviews. As a result, he made the only reasonable choice - in favor of Nikon's 70-300 with a stub. It cost me $ 608. Do I regret buying? How when. If I had been a working pensioner, I would not have waited, and would not have regretted, and I would have bought both a mirror and optics, if not immediately, then quickly.
I advise you, if you haven't bought it yet, feel free to buy 70-300 mm. This mod. head and shoulders above all other amateur class telephoto cameras. If there is no money - pause, dig ... You will not regret it. And buy a city - you will regret it every day, year ...
hello Arkady, we need your advice in choosing a lens (included with d5100): 18-55 + 55-200 or 18-105. First of all, the image quality is of interest (sharpness, minimum distortion and HA). In the 18-105mm review, you write that it is of medium quality workmanship and significantly exceeds 18-55 mm, and about 18-55 and 55-200 you write that they are of poor workmanship, and at the same time in this forum you repeatedly recommend a kit instead of 18-105. On what to opt for, tell me, please (I repeat that the priority is the quality of the picture, shooting at home, celebrations, hikes). And why does the 18-105 cost a little more than the 18-55 + 55-200 kit? thanks in advance
Take 18-105. The workmanship of all these lenses is about the same - these are all budget glasses in a plastic case with a plastic bayonet mount. But 18-105 is corny sharper than 18-55 and 55-200 on the corresponding focal points. It's better not to dream about the absence of distortion and CA in this budget :) And it's not such a big problem - any RAW editor corrects it in two clicks, if it really hurts your eyes.
I am facing a dilemma:
Nikon 55-200mm f / 4-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor or
Tamron AF 18-200mm F / 3,5-6,3 XR Di II LD Asp. (IF) Macro for Nikon.
Needed for macro photography. There is a flash.
Thanks in advance
A regular macro flash won't save you. There are special ring flashes for macro. But this is an expensive pleasure that will be justified only if you sell your pictures. And judging by the lenses you choose, you don't have that in your plans. The lens will still be better Nikon 55-200 / 3,5-5,6
Help me figure out which of these lenses is more suitable for the Nikon D3000:
NIKKOR AF-S 55-200MM F4-5,6 VR,
NIKKOR AF-S 55-300 F4.5-5.6G ED VR,
NIKKOR AF-S 70-300MM F4,5-5,6 G IF ED VR,
SIGMA 70-300MM F / 4-5.6 APO MACRO,
SIGMA AF 70-300MM F / 4-5.6 DG OS? Will autofocus, stabilization work? Is it worth buying Sigma, which is more expensive, or can you compromise and take a cheaper lens? Thank you in advance!
I would prefer the NIKKOR AF-S 70-300MM F4,5-5,6 G IF ED VR.
Do you think it's worth overpaying an almost double amount for 55-300? Or not be afraid of plastic mount?
the fact that plastic is not scary (if you don’t use a hammer instead) I bought it half a year ago, I’m satisfied, and 55-300 judging by the reviews, not really. 55-200, but this is my personal opinion
Hello Arkady, this lens and fifty dollars are available, but I would like a larger zoom for the portrait. The question is, will Jupiter 37a be much better in quality than the 55-200 DX VR ED?
Definitely better, but quite difficult to work with. If you are not afraid of difficulties, take Jupiter
I had the opposite situation - there was Jupiter-37A, which after the purchase of 55-200 went to the shelf, and then was sold. The drawing of Jupiter, of course, is more interesting, but in order to confidently focus with the pens on the younger carcasses, you need to have eagle's sight.
On the focal 200, as Arkady wrote above, the 55-200 allows you to get portraits with decent bokeh.
As I already said somewhere in this forum, in my opinion, not the most successful Nikon lens in the light of comparison with alternatives. Personally, I was disappointed with Nikon 55-200. I was especially disappointed after three comparisons:
With Nikon 70-300 VR - but here it is also logical - the difference in price is so great! Sharpness 70-300 is very high for a low tele zoom.
With Tamron 18-200 for Nikon - although the Tamron does not have a stub and is a superzoom, the sharpness at the far focal lengths turned out to be even slightly better. It really lathers in the corners, but here you need to take into account that for almost the same price, tamron also gives a wide angle.
With Canon 55-250 IS - this is where my main disappointment. At a reasonable price, Canon offers much better glass in most parameters. Also plastic and unreliable, but with a slightly higher quality stabilizer, with a longer focal length and with a sharper picture. The 55-250IS is so successful that there are comparisons of it even with the 70-200 4L from Canon on the net. I would not raise it that much, but even in comparison with the more expensive Nikon 70-300VR, this Canon does not lose much.
In general, in my opinion, the economy version of the TV set from Nikon does not shine. On the other hand, it is unlikely that just for the sake of a slightly sharper picture 55-250 will change the whole system. When there is already a Nikon and Whale 18-55 camera, this 55-200 will be a great addition. If you do not make boring comparisons, but just take pictures, then this 55-200 can be removed as a masterpiece. Good luck to everyone!
I don't quite agree. Without going into details, I can say that you can manage everything if you have management experience. I want and I can - not the same thing.
Don't buy, I barely got rid of it, this is a bad lens. 18-55 is much better, 55-200 has very poor resolution, speed and focusing accuracy. The stabilizer is trying to do its job as a result either smears the picture or doubles, I love Nikon, but this the lens is unusable. Yes - good colors, contrast, there is still something, and the end result is almost always a marriage.
I am the owner of this lens. I can disagree with some comments. If you shoot correctly, the result is very good. I really get pictures above average with good color resolution, etc.
I completely agree with the anonymous author above: SIMILAR! no complaints, for 3t rub an excellent lens and paired with 18-55 and 35fix I get the most common range
I am the owner of nikon 55-200. And I’ll say it right - an excellent lens for straight hands. I took pictures of the animals and the last call to my daughter - the glass only made me happy. comfortable focal lengths, decent sharpness, plastic, so it doesn't matter. photo quality from a tripod was comparable to the Nikon 35 1,8 fix. serves the third year and only pleases. in sunny weather outdoors - wonderful pictures. I advise! do not be afraid of plastic, be afraid of crooked hands!
I fully support.
I have a nikon d3200, advise which lens is better to take (mainly for portraits)
Nikon 55-200mm f / 4-5.6G AF-S DX VR IF-ED Zoom-Nikkor or Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S Nikkor can not decide, the price is almost the same. Thank you in advance.
Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S Nikkor. Of all the proposed, the most qualitative "portrait".
Definitely Nikon, I have some experience. But if you have experience in shooting, you can shoot with other "glasses" without losing quality ... acceptable.
I have a Nikon D5100, I use a whale lens, a poltiynik 1.8 and of course Helios 44-2. I wanted to buy an inexpensive long-focus magician, having read the comments, I fell into thought. Fix of course is a thing, but it doesn’t always fit. So the author didn’t understand whether or not to buy 55-200?
As a result, I bought 55-300, I admit honestly very satisfied. The sharpness is at the level, the colors are very nice. Of the minuses, I would add a bit of autofocus speed. In general, it's just super, even indoors!
here I think to take it!
Autofocus is not very happy: (sometimes even a static object cannot take it, not to mention a movable one.
For this money, you can put up with autofocus, the pictures are excellent. Well, if you need very fast focusing, then a poltik will help you.
Please tell me how the Nikon 55-200mm f / 4-5.6G AF-S DX ED Zoom-Nikkor lens differs from the one presented in the review ?!
Specifications vary in the following parameters:
The minimum aperture is F22 and F32, respectively.
The number of elements / groups of elements is 15/11 and 13/9, respectively.
The minimum focusing distance, m 1,1 and 0,95, respectively.
And the second is lighter in weight.
I do not really understand what this means and which of the two to take! Help me please!
Inga - VR ... There is no stabilization in the one you specified.
Tell me, dear, how to install EXIF with all attributes on the d7000? Or is everything by default? How it should be read ...
And further. Where can I read clearly how to learn how to quickly and correctly install (reinstall, re-check) BB? Camera D7000.
Arkady, he wanted to know everything - and with what lens did you shoot the illustrations for this article? Such a pleasant sharpness, like the 105's ...
I am doing lens re-shooting with the Nikkor 28-105 / 3,5-4,5 and Nikon D80.
Good afternoon, tell me please, and on Nikon d5100 or 3200, will the lenses "helios and other Soviet lenses" fit?
Have you tried a lens with almost the same marking, but without a stabilizer? What can you say?
Is it very different in quality? (maybe the difference between them is just what is in the stub, and not in the lenses)
Can this review be applied to it in terms of photo quality? (Of course, taking into account the presence of a stub in VR)
I read it again more carefully - I saw the link (before I did not pay attention to the link - I just perceived it as an inscription - the name of the lens without a stabilizer)
I found a review there.
Thank you
I bought this glass for the sake of interest to compare it with the more expensive Nikon telephones, as well as for situations when it is impossible or inconvenient to carry a heavy and long 70-300 with you. I do not know what the reason is, but reviews for this glass vary from complete squalor to a masterpiece of optics, most likely the quality of each specimen floats a lot. There is no soap on the open one, but the drawing is really ugly, dull. Excellent sharpness is only achievable in the f8-f16 range and in bright daylight. Since 2014, the price has been frostbitten to inadequacy. To buy this glass is only used - otherwise, it's just stupidity! After the sale of the first copy, a new similar lens for 3000r was found a little later !! The second sample had better sharpness, which appeared starting from f6.3 and better color reproduction, more accurate and faster autofocus. The first had some sort of torn-eyed "felt-tip" colors and a very poor study of small details.
lens disappointed. sane pictures are obtained only during the day on the street in good sunlight, in the evening, or indoors, the photo is NOTHING different from an ordinary soap dish. We compared the result of a soap dish for 3000 rubles and my nikon with 55-200 - almost no difference. 256 colors, no sharpness, wild noises (you have to pull up the iso). conclusion - useless glass with a working time, as in a savings bank. from 9 am to 16 pm. Wouldn't recommend.
