[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 556158, member: 24285"] I got very lucky. [URL]http://nikonites.com/off-topic/12528-post-your-latest-purchases-421.html#post554120[/URL] We don't do Kijiji in these parts, we have a local on line "trading post" that everyone uses. I follow it and always check the camera section. That deal popped up and I was fortunate enough to be the first to snap it up. So now I am the proud owner of the original Nikkor 70-200 VRI. I just could not justify the $2600+ they ask for the VRII in Canada. And from the reviews I've read the consensus seems to be that the VRII version had many good enhancements - it was a total redesign. The original VR-I however is still considered a fine piece of glass. Equal to or superior to the current Siggy or Tammy one's I would say. I don't mind third party lenses and have several. But could not pass up that deal. [/QUOTE]
