[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 483432, member: 15675"] I did indicate this in the statement "me as random factor included" and "the 70-200 f2,8 VRII would be my only lens". The point is that decent images are possible with the 70-300G afterwards it is the photographer to do something with that to blow the viewer away. To call this "decent" lens "a doorstop or a bookend" just shows the limitation of that person, not the lens. I think it is better that people know limitations, e.g. this lens without VR will not allow you to shoot at the same slow speed (probably 2 stops difference depending on lens) you can do with a lens with VR, it is a limitation, it does not make it a bad lens. Just like you should know that missing ED glass in this lens will probably increase chromatic aberration and you might have to do more corrections for this in Lightroom afterwards, or it might even sometimes be too bad to correct (not yet clear to me). You might say the rendering of this lens is too neutral, but that is also said of the 24-70 f2.8. The main point of my test is that this 70-300G for me delivers usable results, this so I know how I can use it. (B.t.w. the test was with the 70-300 closed 1/3 of a stop at 270mm) [/QUOTE]
