Nikon AF‑S DX 55–200mm f/4–5.6G ED Lens – Silver, Autofocus Telephoto Zoom

The Nikon AF‑S DX 55–200mm f/4–5.6G ED is a lightweight, compact telephoto zoom designed for Nikon DX‑format DSLR cameras. The silver finish is less common than the standard black version and pairs especially well with early silver Nikon bodies such as the D40, D50 and D70 series. With its practical 55–200mm range, it’s ideal for portraits, wildlife, sports, travel and general outdoor photography. The Silent Wave Motor (AF‑S) provides fast, quiet autofocus, and the ED glass element helps maintain contrast and reduce chromatic aberration.
