WOW!! deal of the day.. Nikon is having a 10% refurbished lenses this weekend.. the 70-300VR Refurbished from Nikon is $269.96!!
Nikon Store - AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (Refurbished)

It's in stock now... probably won't be much longer at that price!!! I'm half tempted to buy one and resale it local for $350

... First impression of the lens-ITS HUGE!!!

The others are right. The 70-300 is considered to be a "Compact" telephoto lens, and it really is. My Sigma 150-500 is 16" long at 500mm with the lens hood in place, uses an 86mm front filter, and weighs 4.2 pounds. The 70-300 is 10" long at 300mm with the lens hood in place, uses a 67mm filter, and weighs 1.6 pounds.

That really makes my lens looks like a feather weight LOL

Especially compared to the 70-200mm VR2, which is ~8" long (no hood) and weighs 3.4 lbs. I'm tired after shooting an all day event. lol
