[QUOTE="hark, post: 793276, member: 13196"] I have both the f/4 VR as well as the f/2.8 VRii. My copy of the f/4 is sharp. Wait, let me say it this way ... my copy of the f/4 is [SIZE=3][B]TACK SHARP[/B]! [/SIZE];) [SIZE=2]Right out of the box, my f/4 was sharper than my f/2.8 VRii.[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [SIZE=2] And it is much lighter in weight than the f/2.8 making it preferable to use outdoors. My f/2.8 is what I tend to go with if I'm shooting inside without flash simply because it allows an extra stop of light. I purchased mine pre-owned through an Amazon seller. And honestly it is in like-new condition. It has the optional tripod foot which I really wanted. I'm not sure if it is absolutely necessary to use the foot. However, my preference is to use a tripod foot when the weight of the lens weighs more than a body. And I believe it is a little heavier. I still have my Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, but my 70-200 f/4 VR surpasses it. I really should sell my 70-300mm because it just doesn't get any use. AND ... even though I have my 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR which is my preferred wildlife lens, there are times I just go with the 70-200mm f/4 VR. I have a Nikon 1.4x TC that quite often is paired with my 300mm f/4 PF. While the TC is stellar on the 300mm, I don't think it has quite the WOW effect on the 70-200mm f/4 VR. But it is an option for you if you still have yours (at least I *think* you have a 1.4x TC). [/SIZE][/SIZE]:confused:[SIZE=3][SIZE=2] Here is the tripod foot for the 70-200mm f/4 VR.
