The AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED is a compact, lightweight 3.6X zoom lens featuring a host of state-of-the-art optical technologies such as the Vibration Reduction (VR), Nikon ED glass element and SWM (Silent Wave Motor). The lens has been specifically designed to complement the D80, as well as the D40 and upcoming D40x cameras. And it delivers outstanding performance at a remarkably affordable price.

The compact zoom lens offers powerful zoom performance of 55-200mm (providing a picture angle equivalent to an 82.5-300mm lens in 35mm format) and is suitable for every type of photography from candid portraits to sports, nature and wildlife photography. The Nikon VR system enables users to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds.
