[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 48471, member: 16"] You can use that 70-300 with your D90 in manual mode. Great lens. With no VR, you'll need a monopod or a tripod. The more expensive lenses are what's called "fast glass"...such as f/2.8 . The less expensive glass are in the f/3.5 - 5.6 range. All lens makers have different identifiers for their particular lenses, such as VR for Nikon, IS for Canon, OS for Sigma, and so on. They all do essentially the same thing. When you add these features to a lens, it adds to the price. Stick with the one you have. It's a great lens. It just has to be used properly. :) By the way...welcome to Nikonites. If you could fill out the rest of your profile...such as where you're from, the camera and gear you use, it would help us better to answer any of your questions. Have fun with your D90. :) [/QUOTE]
