MidKnight - do a search on the 55-200. There are a few good posts on this lens.

I picked up a used one from B&H for under $70 shipped. It's good, but not great. No substitute for a high quality lens, but gives me some extra reach while I save some money for better glass. Then again ... For the price the lens is excellent. I am very happy with the purchase.
