I haven't got VR on mine and never really needed it for macro but once I start shooting normally with it, it would have been a handy option. Especially since mine is rather long. I don't know how good VR for macro is since I never shot it but I can image that it helps since at 1:1 the slightest shake magnifies exponentially.It's the same with manual vs auto-focus. On the D3300 I always manually focused mine when macro. Not that I had another option. But again, when shooting normal, manual can be annoying.It's handy to have the options which can always be disabled. But you can't enable what isn't there.</blockquote>
