[QUOTE="§am, post: 87993, member: 9187"] I'm gonna take a wild stab at this and say, as you're in the D3100 forum, you have that body. I think you've confused yourself with those lenses. There is no f/1.4-5.6 55-200m lens in any shape or format by Nikon - heck if there was, I think the price would be quite high! The only available (Nikon) options for the focal lengths you want are; Nikon (Nikkor) AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED DX Nikon (Nikkor) AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR DX As you can see, the only substantial difference is the VR capability and current (UK) prices puts the VR at a lower price, which is a no brainer as far as choices goes between the two. Or as Bill suggested, the 55-300mm is only about £90 more ($~140) - depends on your budget and needs of course :) [/QUOTE]
