Is the Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX (non VR) a good lens?
I've recently purchased a Canon t3i and I wish to use my old lens with it. I've also ordered a Nikon to Canon lens adapter so that I can use my Nikon lens on my Canon body.
Is the Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX (non VR) a decent lens? Is it good enough?
I'm a casual photographer and I take photos of landscapes, people, etc.
Any feedback or advice would be helpful and very appreciated.
I don't know if it will work. Of course it won't autofocus with the adapter on the Canon. But the kiss of death could be that as a G lens the 55-200mm AF-S DX requires electronic setting of the aperture, which the adapter may not do. Probably the only Nikon lenses to work with the Canon body would be some of the older type with mechanical aperture ring. Money spent on the adapter might be better applied to Canon lenses.
It's a decent lens, but you'll lose autofocus and most (if not all) of your exposure modes.
Only a Canon - fit lens will give full functionality on a Canon. Nikon and Canon like it that way.
