i presume this is the non dx version? its a great lens. works well throughout its range and best used at f8-f11 in good light. some copies can soften a little at the longest end, vr works well. a sound choice.

I been out playing with my camera this evening, really enjoying the extra zoom i get from this new lens, although noticably heavier and so takes some practise getting focused shots, roll on tomorrow evening!
hmm, i thought it was the vr version. never mind, i am sure that it will perform perfectly well as a door stop/paper weight.
If I use the 70-300 At 155 mm on a D7000 do I use the same equation or do I use 230 mm as a starting point since I read that the D7000 increases the focal length by 1.5x ? Thanks in advance....hope I am making some sense, still trying to figure out a LOT of things about my new camera.Beware. With a telephoto lens like the one you have, unless you are using a sturdy tripod, you have to select a shutter speed that is at least as fast as the focal length x1.5. I looked at you exif (file infos) and found that you were using a shutter speed of 1/160s with a focal length of 155mm. 155 x 1.5= 230 so you should have used a shutter speed faster than 1/230s. You could have achieved this by bumping your iso up to maybe 600 and your shot probably would have been a little sharper. I know it's tempting to challenge ourselves with slow shutter speeds thinking that VR will do it's magic, but when it comes to results, some rules bring better results. Nice Ugoose/swan or ??? picture though. The poor thing looks like a prisonner.
