The retracting design keeps this 55-200mm zoom at just 435g, while Vibration Reduction provides 4.0 stops of stabilization for sharper handheld shots at the 200mm end. The Super Integrated Coating and ED glass control ghosting and distortion, and the refurbished certification delivers like-new performance at a budget price. This lens is best for DX-format DSLR owners who need a lightweight telephoto for travel, school events, and casual sports photography.
