[QUOTE="Osantacruz, post: 590776, member: 10564"] I'll be getting the new DX version as soon as Adorama ships it. Got it used for $309. I accidentally bought the non-VR version on eBay but sent it back. I did snap a few shots and it seemed very quick and the lens was surprisingly light. It wasn't a real test since it was already starting to get dark out and no VR handheld at 300 was difficult to use but I think I'll be happy with the VR version. Plastic mount but I'm not really concerned about that since I have a couple of 10 year old kit lenses that are plastic mount and still functioning as well as the day I got them. I also bought the 18-55 AF-P VR on eBay for about $85 and for a quick, light carry around lens it works really well. Very quick and completely silent focus. I thought it was broken at first because it made no sound while focusing but it just is that quiet. The 70-300 was also very quiet and quick. It's such a pain that there's damn near no info on the lens, I had to buy it just to find out how it is. I'll definitely do a review for others considering the lens in the future. [/QUOTE]
