[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 452633, member: 13692"] (The older design supposedly performs about 20% better than the new one. See LenScore: [URL]http://www.lenscore.org/[/URL]) [B]Or maybe not.[/B] LenScore averages the performance over the entire lens which in this case is soft toward the corners. For birding use, for example on a D7200, it is only the DX portion of the lens that counts. LensRental has also tested the lens and reports slightly better performance in the center of the new lens than in the center of the old lens. That would make the new lens a clear winner, considering size, weight, AF and VR. I have asked LenScore if they are willing to provide data for the DX portion of the new 300mm f/4. [/QUOTE]
