  • Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED DX AF-S Nikkor

    3 out of 10 points and not recommended
    The vignetting effect is too drastic for a single image

    Recently I was given a Nikon D40 kit, in using the 55-200 DX lens I have found that the vignetting effect at the edges of the lens are as much a 2 F stop difference from center of photograph to edge at 175 focal length. The vignetting effect is too drastic for a single image and for multiple images or panorama style photographs, thus making it impossible to Photo-merge using Photoshop SC3.
