I hesitated to buy this objective for my Nikon D40x - probably looked at this list of six or seven times before making the purchase. Honestly I was worried about how it is inexpensive. Now, I'm probably a very average amateur photographer most of my pictures are family stuff: kids, sports, parties, birthdays, etc.. But this does not mean I'm willing to compromise on quality to save money, and I know the Nikon 55-200 is the quality of the lens.

But I bought it based on an assessment of Michael Del Priore (his was the only magazine at the moment) - I thought at that price (especially compared with the Nikon 55-200), why not give it a shot, and I m happy I did.

This is an excellent achievement. The motor autofocus is fast and does not chew the battery (I was worried about this, but I took about 170 pictures of my son play two Saturdays ago, and do not use the battery more than the Nikon 35-70 lens that came with your device). As "cinderoo" I had no problem of stabilization is to talk about, snapping away even 12 years following the Old Boys run down a field. This may be more of a problem with macro photography, but I assume that most of the photos (albeit limited) macro that I would probably with a tripod anyway.

Now, no one would take me for a professional photographer, but I can tell you that when I take the photos taken with the D40x and the Sigma on my 24 "iMac and the full screen view, are * all * I looking for when I decided to switch to a DSLR.
