[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 366282, member: 24569"] The weather is mostly cloudy and the light is terrible here today. I took the Tamzooka out and was impressed by how quickly it focused in the dark, flat light. I don't have much to show for my outing today, but the moon popped out in a small patch of blue sky. This is uncropped on my D7100. [ATTACH=CONFIG]118047._xfImport[/ATTACH] The vibration control works fairly well. It's a little hit or miss, like every VR Nikon I've ever had is, but here's a bunny shot at 460mm f/8 and 1/200. Remember that 460mm on the D7100 is equal to about 690mm on an FX or 35mm camera. The first shot is the full frame, the second is 100% crop. There is a fair amount of noise since it was pretty dark and 1600 ISO. THE VC worked pretty well.
