need to purchase the lens in conjunction with a Nikon DSLR or package. When going through checkout, at the next to last page, it asks you for the promo code. If it doesn't take it, make sure that it hasn't already been applied. You should see $100 in the "gift card and promotional" fund, and it asks you whether you want it applied to your purchase (check box). I purchased my D3100 with the standard 18-55 lens, added the 55-200, and got it for $96. Great deal. Total cost of the package, camera, two lenses, case and DVD instructional video's (also free) $700. unbeatable.

If you go to the Nikon D3100 kit page on Amazon, you will see a text box directly below the delivery options that says: "Buy this Nikon DSLR, Save up to $250 on a Qualifying NIKKOR Lens". Hit the "learn more" link to go to the page that lists the promo codes. All you have to do is buy a qualifying Nikon camera or kit and add one or more of the qualifying lenses. NOT ALL LENSES QUALIFY and if you want more than one lens, if you process the orders then contact Amazon by phone, they will combine the orders under one order and give you the discount on multiple lenses. Good Luck. There are some great deal on lenses.

What is the code you tried, because I saw it in a discussion and now that i'm ready to buy I can't dind it, it expires 10/01/2011 and says if you buy a certain camera and a certain lens you get a instant discount of $200.00 $150.00 $100.00 depending on the lens.

Debbie,B&H; photo is still giving the Nikon discount. http://www.bhphotovideo.com Their price for the d3100 + 18-55 AF s DX VR kit, plus the 55-200 AF S DX VR is $718.00 This is $20 higher than the Amazon price, but right now, they are out of stock, and as I stated above, I don't think they are honoring the discount any longer. Put the d3100 in your cart, then to the left you will see various lens discounts listed. Toward the bottom, you will see "save up to $100" on select lenses. The "VR" version is $119 and the non VR is $79. Good Luck!

My Nikon V2 will not recognize this card. When you put it in the camera this message appears: "This memory card cannot be used. Card may be damaged; insert a different card." I have tried formatting the card and updating the firmware on the camera. It works find in other cameras and on my computer (iMac). I can't find any info on this problem anywhere.

Canon usually has rebates at least twice a year- usually one in the spring and one in the fall. The fall one has ended, however, a spring promotion should be coming up soon. Some are better than others. For instance, my first 580exii was a sweet $75 off, but my second purchase was only $25 off. For active rebates for Canon purchases, amazon had usually posted the related products as instant rebates. Check out http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-Lens-Rebates.aspx for a history of them and the Canon website http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional?pageKeyCode=53 for active ones.

E: Thanks for the reply. I also wrote Amazon, and they told me: "Many of the items listed on our website are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. This information should be listed in the owner's manual for the product." I explained what gray market meant in my inquiry, but obviously they don't get it at all. The price is so low that I assumed it was gray market. I agree with you--I would never buy a Nikon product from anyone other than Amazon directly.

I'm wondering if there's a rebate available if I order this now? Anyone know? I see no mention of it in the product description here at Amazon.

It would be best to contact Canon with the sellers information. I did this earlier this year and found out that due to the seller the rebate would not apply. Canon will answer the question quickly for you.

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately Nikon's instant rebate on this camera/lens combination has expired which caused the price to go back up.

I initially had this problem too, as my order linked to the seller action package. On the right, there will be other buying choices, one of which is the one sold by http://amazon.com, I added that one to my cart ($69.99), then followed the link on it to the one sold by amazon. On that page, you can get to the rebate.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

Not sure what you're asking. I bought a couple of them online because the prices were so different I thought they might also be. Bought a Nikon one, and a cheap after-market brand. Nikon's was about $7, the other was one cent. They're virtually identical, both work just fine. So I'd say, buy it online, and buy the $.01 version. Even with shipping, it should be less that $4-5.

Same here, i can't find the rebate form. Did you manage to find it? Thanks.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

Mr. Stargazer, Carefully read the terms BEFORE you purchase. I have a Nikon D7100; I purchased a lens with the camera. My lens mount broke. They covered it. I had to send in the lens, and it was repaired and returned to me a no cost other than mailing the lens. However, I've read some reviews that claim the policy will not cover accidental breakage. This was not true in my case; they did cover it. I just cautioning you to be aware of all the terms before you push the buy button. I rated my service 4 of 5 stars.

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

The lens is imported from overseas, so it is not eligible for Nikon warranty or rebates. There is no difference in the item itself. You can purchase a 3rd party warranty for pretty cheap though.

I have no idea, I went for the 25 because at the time I ordered it, it was $16 with free shipping. Looks like they raised the price to $19.99. The 25 works great for me, but if the 50 is a better deal then go for it.

The one I ordered was designed for other Nikon models. I complained and the refunded my $. Maybe it was an error at the factory? Although the didn't have the right one so I had to go elsewhere.
