[QUOTE="stmv, post: 66347, member: 10038"] Nikon has the benefit of having a deep pool of designed lens. Lately, it seems they are more likely to re-surface an old lens and add VR and call it new. An example is the excellent 24-85 ED 3.3 AFS full frame lens. This lens came and went fairly quickly but was a well designed and highly regarded lens. Personally, I decided to buy a used copy for 195 dollars versus the 600 or so dollars for a new version. Primary difference is VR, which is nice, but not a critical function for me, and not worth the cost premium. Finding used copies are fairly easy, between 150-200 dollars depending upon shape, but fairly rare overall. [/QUOTE]
