When VR is activated and the camera is on a tripod, it will degrade the sharpness.As was mentioned, it is a slower lens and needs ample light for focusing. I liked mine a lot, but when I bought the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, I never used the 55-200mm again. It's packed away in a camera bag. My 70-300mm is a partial stop slower than the one you are using, but when you know the light is low and the camera is having trouble with AF, switch to manual focus.</blockquote>
