Nikon D50, will at Nikon 55-200VR lens work?

At B&H they say that the lens will work in VR function with D100, D200 & D1 and D2-series, or any newer model camera.
I was wondering if my D50 counted as a newer model?
If the VR function will not work with my camera can anyone tell me of another lens with the same abilities that will work with my D50?
Thanks.

Yes, it will work. Less than two hours ago, the exact lens arrived for my wife's D50. I have tested it and you can hear the VR buzzing when you take a picture. It works.

Now that I've had it a DAY, it seems decent. Images are good, probably less distortion at the extremes than my 18-200. Rockwell calls if the lens bargain of the year. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nik... Report It

Its a DX lens so it should work perfectly

Your D50 can use "DX" digital-only lenses or regular lenses.

Regarding VR compatibility - the answer is yes; your D50 will work 100% with the VR vibration reduction feature of that lens.

While we're on the topic, you should know that your D50 is compatible with almost every Nikon lens made in the past 20 years. That includes manual focus, autofocus and the newer "AF-S" motor-in-the-lens autofocus lenses.

I've added a link, below, to a Nikon webpage on the topic.
