So I went to a Sounder's game today and noticed that my lens wasn't giving me very clear photos at full zoom. I was using the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens with a brand new Nikon D90 body. The lens cover wasn't smudged or anything, I checked many times. This isn't just a one time issue too, have others had this problem, or is it just a mediocre lens?Nikkor Lens Not Clear?
I'm just going to put my magicball to work. Okay looks like you were using the lens just about maxed out (zoomed all the way) and you were not using a tripod. I see from the pictures you have motion blur. You need to use a monopod, or a tripod for distant shots like your shooting. Next would be your shutter speed and the ISO settings cant even make a guess of what you were trying to use, let alone WB.Nikkor Lens Not Clear?
I think there might be a problem with the lens, internally. Without seeing a photo, it is hard to tell.
Make sure your camera is focusing on the actual subject. I changed my settings to focus only in the center part of the image. This way I can control what is and isn't in focus. Go to MENU, the little pencil, autofocus, a2 (center point focus). Try that and see what happens.
The 55-200mm is a fine lens. This one, in addition to the 18-55mm lens, is a wonderful piece of optical engineering for the price.
I have a D90, but I shoot an 18-200mm Tamron 3.5-6. Macor Xr Di II LD and get great shots.
