There's a VR label on the lens body. On the 18-55mm it's gold, on the 55-200mm it's red.
Both are gold and have a DX on it

VR = Vibration Reduction, which is optical image stabilization in the lens. Nikon and Canon bodies don't have in-body stabilization, but in the lenses.

Trust me, there will be times you wish you had it (e.g., shooting indoors with no flash), but it's not absolutely necessary for most applications.

any1 know what are good lenses filters for my lenses
Not sure about the filters but I do know that you shouldn't get the cheap "pack" that is being sold. I have the UV lense but I don't quite know what it does. I can't see a difference from just the lense. I keep it on for the protection, it came with the bag that I got for it. Now, go out and take some pics and post them up

If you're going to cheap out, imo, don't bother. They'll just degrade image quality a lot and cause issues such as larger amounts of lens flare. Best to just be careful with your lens, use a lens cover and buy something to clean the dust off with ( http://www.amazon.com/Giottos-Rocket...7307757&sr=8-3 )

well im not going to risk scrating a $200, if i do that its worthless, i just want a proctective glass over it to keep it safe, that way i can always replace them, i just bought a 2 pack for $20
