I love this lens! The VR really makes a difference. Admirable sharpness, especially for the price.

What's there to say? It's a Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS lens!!! Shipping with a tripod ring, lens hood, and case, it is a simply outstanding, tack sharp Canon "L" lens; moreover, the Image Stabilization provides a two-stop-plus difference when hand-holding. Those features and its outstanding performance make it one of Canon's most desired lenses -- and my personal experience with it has been excellent.

I had ordered this item from a different site and never received it. I was really very frustrated because they had charged me 4 something I never got and I really need it but couldn't wait long. So I ordered from you, guys, but never believed it will come on time 4 the trip that I needed it. But I was so nicely surprised when it came not only on time but 3-4 days before the promised day! Thank you!

I find that this lens is very light and compact with less distortion at the top end than the Nikon 18-200. Unlike the much more costly Nikon 18-200 (which I have), the 55-200 also doesn't have the annoying gravity-induced lens (zoom) extension problem. Also, by using the Nikon 18-70mm and the 55-200mm lenses, I avoid the significant complex curvature of straight line distortions of the Nikon 18-200 at its widest angle settings. For critical telephoto zoom work, I use my Nikon 70-200mm ED AF-S VR lens - (often with a Nikon TC-17E telexender for wildlife photos.

Lens is great, but the mount is terrible on the 2 cameras I've tried it on (D70 and D2X). Metal grinding to metal, not the smooth action I was expecting from a Nikkor! Guess the name is not what it used to be.

If you've been thinking about getting this lens, get it now.[...].

I have a D40, so I have to focus it. I do like that I have to focus, because it makes me work a little harder to achieve amazing pics. Once it's in focus, it does a great job of capturing some very sharp pictures. As mentioned before, it performs very well in low light and it's very fast. I definitely recommend this lens!

This lens performs excellently. It takes great pictures and has incredible bokeh. I only wish I had more uses for it. It performs very well in low light and the f1.8 aperature is very bright. For the price it is incredible. I just have to say one thing about the man who wrote the review about the auto focus not working on his D60. The discription says that the lens works on Nikon SLRs NOT DSLRs. So Nikon is saying it works on all FILM SLRs not Digital SLRs; and all Nikon FILM SLRs have focus motors built in although many Nikon Digital SLRs (except the D60, D40, and D40x). So if you read the product discription more carefully, you wouldn't have had that problem. Anyways, Great lens and Highly recommended.

Prior to buying this lens I had the very good 18-70mm as well as the 70-300mm. Problem was most times I went anywhere that wasn't specifically a "shoot", I'd only take the 18-70. Often times 70mm was just too short, and my 70-300 just wasn't getting used.

Enter the 18-200. A lens for almost every situation. No, its not perfect. It has some non-linear distortion at the wide end, but for most times its good enough. Its a relatively compact lens, the VR works outstandingly well, allowing handheld usage as low as 1/6sec.

This is the lens that goes on my camera when I don't know what to expect. Great for travelling, great for events. Highly recommended.

This lens is a lot of fun to use for not a lot of money. It's small and light so it ends up spending a lot of time on my camera and I like to take it with me even if it isn't always the most ideal focal length for the situations I'm in.
