Nikon DX lens vs. VR lens

[sburatorul]

as much as i love my d60 i would not give up the d70s... no way... if you want a new camera at least get the d80 or the d300 if you can afford it

hi. you say that the 18-55mm VR is slower than normal 18-55mm. if we turn off the VR system in lens, does it make faster? like normal 18-55mm? and can i use the 18-55mm VR with nikon d40??? and is it good to take photos in macro with VR system? thanks for your replies

This threads pretty old, its usually not good to revive super dead threads. But your new so it alright. The 18-55 vr is the same speed as the non vr version. Both the non vr and vr versions will be fine on the d40. Generally with macro you will use a tripod, and on a tripod you will want to turn vr off. Also, vr does not help subject motion blur.
