Is the nikon af s dx 55 200mm f 4 5 6g ed vr ii good for sports?

It's a reasonable start for sport, but only in decent light. On an APS-C body it frames like about 82-300mm, which covers a lot of outdoor fields and track events. It's stabilised, so it's easier to hold steady at the long end.

The catch is the aperture. It drops to f/5.6 as you zoom in, so indoor gyms and evening games will push you to high ISO, and the focus can hunt. If you shoot fast action, pair it with the Nikon D500, which is on this lens's compatible list and suits fast subjects better than a slower body would. If you need more reach, look at the Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. For more on what makes sport hard to shoot, see wildlife and sport.
