I love my 55-300. Between the 18-55mm VRII and the 55-300mm VR lens, those two lenses cover 99 percent of everything I do with a DX camera. (D200 in my case) And to think you can get the 55-300 refurbished, like new, direct from Nikon for under 220 dollars, it seems to me that it's absolutely a no brainer. If you have a DX camera you should have this lens in your bag, period. But I suspect it will spend more time on your camera than in your lens bag.
I've been impressed with the focus speed and accuracy and image quality even at full zoom. For the price I simply can find no fault with this lens. I think you'd have to be pretty picky to find much to complain about.
