[QUOTE="goz63, post: 6773, member: 1557"] Cal, You are right, save the 70-300 non-vr, Nikon makes a great lens no matter what. Some are going to be better, but often they cost a lot more than I am willing to spend and I don't think I would get my monies worth. By that I mean I don't need the extra "whatever" the money is buying. I have the new 55-300 and I could not be happier with it. I don't believe the 70-300 VR is better. The main advantage for it is the ability to work again on FX. Again it seems the DX (55-300) gets pushed aside because it is not FX. I would not trade it for a 70-300 VR. The latter is heavier, more expensive, does not go short enough (ie 70mm vs 55mm), does not have the tripod detection feature to name a few differences. I don't mean to say the 70-330 VR is a bad lens, it isn't, but I would not trade it for my 55-300. Before the 55-300, it was the way to go for both DX and FX to get the reach, now there is some competition. [/QUOTE]
