[QUOTE="stmv, post: 73002, member: 10038"] [INDENT]well, I was out on my boat taking some lake shots, and was using the 55-300 lens, and it does a pretty good job, Where it suffers is speed of focus, I wonder why they have to make the focus so so slow, I am surprised that this really saves them that much money building the lens, but compared to a pro lens, it is glacier slow. but not glacier slow getting out of focus :) I will say that the VRII works great, I was in some serious rocking waves, and the camera/lens did great with the details. It was bright, so, I could set the speed to 1/500th or greater, so it might not really be the VRII since it might just cut out any way above a certain shutter speed (suppose I could look that up, but does it really matter?)[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
