[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 130010, member: 13248"] Yes, but the bigger problem is that the VR is not so great on the borders/edges, whereas the VRII supposedly fixes that. If I absolutely had to get one of the Nikons, I'd get the VRII simply because the VRs that are out there are a bit long in the tooth. There is a big difference in price though, from $1200-1300 used for a VR, or $2300+ for the VRII (not including the current $300 off instant rebate). I'd rather go for something new & not out of warranty. Then there is the issue of focus breathing with the VRII, if that is of any concern whatsoever. I can personally afford the VRII, but I can't justify the cost-not for something I would use only a handful of times each year. For someone who normally uses those focal lengths & needs the 2.8, I think the VRII would be great. Or the f4 if one doesn't need 2.8. [/QUOTE]
