There is the superb but heavy 80-200 f2.8 AFD or the 70-200 f2.8 AFS VRii but these are targeted at FX use and are expensive £1500.

Then there is the 70-300 f4.5-5.6 AFS VR (£400) this costs very little and is razor sharp. It works on both FX and DX camera but is very light compared to other FX lenses. Dont worry about the f4.5 as modern camera with high ISO gets round this.
I recommended this lens to Eric and I think he looked at it and got one as well.

The 55-200 you mention is f4.5-5.6 as well and has VR but I would go for the 70-300 as it is better for a little extra in price.


I would also say that if you want an interim D200 replacement would be a D300 or D300S would be had for £400ish.
