A good used Nikon 70-300VR sell for around 400-450 they are Nikon's best kept secret. However only the one with VR Nikon made 2 kinds. I use this lens for wildlife when I want to go "light" it a killer on a D7000.
How would you say the AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR
70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
and the
AF-S DX NIKKOR
55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
compare to one another? Any difference is lens quality sharpness bokeh etc...
