His Christmas Wish
I asked the husband last night what gift he wishes to receive this Christmas and I think he’s dead set to have this one:
Nikon Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom
It was last Christmas when we had our Nikky (Nikon D60) as our common Christmas-Anniversary gift. Since it’s been a while since he updated our lenses, he wishes to add one that has a zoom/telephoto capability. So far, what we have are just the kit lens with a range of 18-55 mm and a 50mm lens. Obviously, we’re just limited to a maximum range of 55 mm that is why this 55-200 mm, which is the cheapest (Php 13K+ at DPOnline) is the ideal lens to own soon. I’m quiet adamant though about the cost. I mean although it’s not as pricey as loose diamonds, we’ve tightened our belts this year as we save up for our house project. But let us see. Hopefully, my online earnings will pick up more towards the end of the year so I can gift him with this.
Here are some more facts about this cool lens according to kenrockwell.com:
Ideal Uses: Perfect for use on every DX digital Nikon. Great sports, nature and portrait lens; there’s no need to pay more.Sharpness and performance are extraordinary. A lens this inexpensive never used to have the right to be this embarrassingly good. VR (Vibration Reduction or image stabilization) works great; I can shoot at 1/30 at 200mm and get sharp shots without a tripod! The results are amazing on my 12 megapixel D300, and the 55-200mm VR is so tiny it feels perfect for travel on my D40.
The 55-200mm VR zooms easily and precisely. The zoom range is well spaced, and VR works great. It focuses reasonably quickly, but not as fast as more expensive lenses. I have no problem tracking my 2-year-old in action with my D40. The 55-200mm VR doesn’t offer instant manual focus override: you have to move a switch, but for the price, I’m not complaining.
