NIKON AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G SWM ED Telephoto Zoom Lens

Designed to enable more stable handheld shooting, Nikon’s Vibration Reduction system lets you shoot at up to four stops slower, without the image-degrading blur that can be caused by camera shake. A way to counter the effects of camera shake is...

It's a cheap mid range lens that produces fairly sharp images. Best used for moving subjects or with a tripod/monopod for stationary subjects as it lacks VR. Other than that, its a good lens.

Lacks vibration reduction.

Expensive

Very smooth zoom control. 100% compatible with my Nikon D3000 which is several years old now.

Didn't realise that this lens was not suitable for standard people shots. My fault for not reading the spec carefully.
