Cool can you give me a good starting place for the minimum shutter speed you'd recommend for this lens? Apparently my shutter speed setting was too slow, since getting sharp focus didn't really happen for me in my test shots! Lol :)

Bill while your learning the lens set the highest iso your happy with,maybe 4-500 on the D300,take Scotts suggestion for the sharpest aperture then go with what ever shutter speed you get,vr on and take pictures

Cool thanks buddy! I didn't realize I'd need to go up on the iso outside in sunshine type weather! :)

Will just add ime not suggesting spray and prey but while your getting the feel for it set the camera on CH and rattle a series off on the subject,it could easy be you find the first couple have camera shake and number 3 is sharp.
