[QUOTE="blueiron, post: 1145, member: 203"] The 55-200mm is a consumer lens. The 70-200mm is a professional lens. The 70-200 has the following benefits: It is much faster at f2.8, allowing for sports photography in arenas, rinks, and venues where flash photography is not allowed. It focuses mcuh faster and can track players or performers as they move about, much more easily. The 55-200mm tracks movement rather poorly. It is made of metal and will withstand abuse. The 55-200mm is plastic and it feels like it. The 70-200mm is a hard lens to find for sale because the demand outstrips Nikon's ability to make them. The 70-200mm definition, clarity, and accuracy blows out the 55-200mm in every aspect. If photography is more than a casual interest and you want to take demanding action photos, you need the 70-200mm. [/QUOTE]
