    Very good that you emphasized non-VR, because that 55-200mm lens could turn in some disappointing results for an unsuspecting user who bought this deal to move up from a point ‘n’ shoot or phone camera. Actually, it would be good of Adorama to offer/strongly suggest a good, reasonably priced tripod to go with the camera and non-VR lenses.

    For anyone who happens by and doesn’t know what VR is, it stands for vibration reduction, or Nikon’s in-lens rendition of image stabilization. IS in some form can be very helpful at the long end of the standard kit zoom. Past that, it’s virtually a necessity for most photographers when working in less than very bright daylight. That’s because just as telephoto lenses magnify distant subjects, they also magnify even the slightest camera movement, resulting in less-than-sharp images. That’s why, absent in-camera or in-lens image stabilization, a decent tripod should be standard equipment for telephotography.
