[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 561430, member: 10447"] My experience was when using VR at very close macro distances the VR takes too long to settle. The technique I use, I need to be able to fire the shutter instantaneously as soon as I have the focus pane exactly where I want it. I think from memory, if I tried to take the shot while the VR was still trying to settle, I was getting blurred images. Now if you are using a 1/200, or 1/250 shutter speed, and using flash (this is how I do it ), there is no need for VR anyway, same with trying to use AF, too slow, when I tried it my keeper rate was Zero. These features on my Nikon 105 do get used, but only when using it as a normal lens, not for macro use. Others might have a different experience, but my tests found it a complete waste of time.
