[Best Buy] Nikkor 55-200mm af-s VR $249 @blacks no camera purchase YMMV

I was in my local blacks (bridlewood mall, Scarborough) I went in to price protect a nikkor 55-200mm af-s VR lens (forgot to buy it with my kit at 229)

well I was in there, I saw the price of it regular, it was priced at $249. End date showed as January 4th, 2011.

Please don't razz me on this, I DO KNOW it will be $229 at best buy for boxing day. This deal seems to be YMMV as markville had it listed yesterday at $269.

Ken rockwell does a good review on it. It is a very basic "kit" telephoto, but definitely adds to the amateur photographers tool kit.

The product link to blacks. http://www.blacks.ca/blacks/jump/produc ... 01&bauth=1


The website still lists it at $269.


good luck and this may be a good price match opportunity if you can get the dealer (like aden or japan camera to call in)

I got this lens around 18 months ago - I'd advise people to think twice and put it towards the 70-300mm instead.

This lens is too short for good wildlife shots, but too long for general use, so really it doesn't fit well, for me anyway.

That said, I did get this shot in my back yard with it (on a D60)
