[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 787872, member: 46724"] Just a general opinion here as I don't have that lens. I've heard the VR issue is with a specific shutter speed, (about a stop below and above 1/125). You might consider buying from a place you can return the lens if this issue is something that would drive you nuts. I've heard it has to do with the mirror flap and if that's the case, I'd be interested to know if putting your D500 into Quiet (not quiet) mode would change the frequency enough to alleviate the problem, (and further, I'd like to know about this lens on a Z via FTZ in silent mode). Might only be an issue with the not-quite macro thing as I would assume you'd be using higher shutter speeds for wildlife, (dragonflies and butterflies included). Might not be an issue at all though, I've heard more positives on this lens than negatives. If it were me spending your money, I'd say go for it Woodie and let us know how it goes! [/QUOTE]
