Is this the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR that Nikon shows on their page or is there another one?

I'm not sure what publication you are looking at. Yes. That's what it's printed on the box.

Eric, Just saw this request. Yes, my lenses are Nikon, new, in the box with serial numbered warranty card. I have had this camera for several months, have taken it on two long trips (Africa and Las Vegas). The 18-140MM lens is a great all-around lens...combined with camera settings...it will be your go-to lens. The 55-300mm is narrow field and best for long range shots. I am not a pro, but studied all I could before buying..love this camera!

I believe so. It definitely worked for my lens: AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR.

Both lenses that came with my D3200 had VR. I suspect that Amazon may get this D3200 from several suppliers and you should check this before buying. One package I looked at had a 55-300 lens that did not have VR which is why I bought the package that I did.

Mine came with the 55-300 VR lens, read through the included items list to check.

I didn't see anything on the page that had a all manual lens (although Nikon does still make one) every lens on the page is an AF lens with the capability of also being used as a manual lens if you turn off the AF feature. Hope that helps

Well, mine came with two non-VR lenses. I returned and re-ordered. Two more non-VR lenses. Is this acceptable to anyone?

I've owned both lenses, and in my opinion for use with FX cameras the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens is a better lens than the old 24-120mm f/3/5-5.6G. The 24-85G is sharper, especially at the edges; it's lighter; and its VR function works better. Of course, you give up the extra range, but I've found that 85mm is adequate for most general photography.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. The 70-300mm VR is strictly a "consumer-prosumer" grade lens. Think of it as the "cheap version" of the famous Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens. The 28-300mm VR lens is more for the serious amateur or professional on the go that shoots full frame 35mm or DX. I use 2 Nikon D800's and the 28-300mm lens is on one of them at all times. The newer version that is out now is better than the first issue of a couple years ago, and even at 36 megapixels, I'm getting clean, clear, crisp shots...something I rarely got with my 70-300mm lens. To be perfectly honest, with a GOOD quality multi-coated UV filter on it, you can use this lens all day without changing lenses once. It has become my "walking around" lens of choice. In fact, I just got back from Hawaii and used it for 9 days straight without using any of the other 7 lenses I had in my bag. I recommend it, even for your D7000...you'll just end up shooting an effective range of 105mm to 450mm, or a LOOOONNNNGGGG telephoto lens when you need it.

I have the non-VR version of both, and I personally prefer the 70-300. I got the gray market version of the 70-300 for $110...that's a deal right there. You can get that AND the 55-200mm VR and come out paying the same as you would for just the 70-300mm VR. Also, the focal range covered (55-200mm = 82.5-300mm) and (70-300=105-450mm) is much greater with the 70-300 on a DX. VR is important, yes, but with my D90 and its battery grip, I don't have much trouble getting sharp shots at 300mm and 200mm at 1/60 with either of them, respectively. The size difference is considerable in your bag as well. The 70-300 is rather large. I have the non-VR version of both, and I personally prefer the 70-300.

Be aware that the AF-S Micro Nikkor 85mm is a DX lens, whereas the AFS 60mm is FX, "full frame." If the camera is full frame, you should be comparing the 60mm to the AF-S VR 105mm (I think). There is also a 200 macro, which is a very good macro lens, but it is more suited for tripod work. I guessing they don't want a tripod in the operating theater.

Yes the Nikon I got was the BDC reticle. This was a excellent scope I bought.

I can tell you I use AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. It does work for light levels but of course you can't use autofocus with extension tubes. You focus with the zoom.
