who said that?? i cant see... i cant see..

Hey that VR feature is the mutts nuts!!

its like my old wobbly focus grip.... but in really slow mo its great

dunno how it does it, but its clever

LOL, Yeah, when I got my 24-120 VR I about went ballistic, it's just crazy hand holding a shot at 1/4th of a second!

I tried that lens out at my local photo shop..the only one within 200 miles...and I loved it.

I am looking into the Nikkor 80-400 VR ($1400) but they didn't have it, so I just tried out the 70-300 VR with their D80 body (which is what I have) and I loved it! Loved it!

If I hadn't already made up my mind to go with 80-400 I'd buy the 70-300, great lens! Nice purchase and happy shooting mate.

I just picked up a Nikkor 55-200 VR yesterday. I'll be trying it out this weekend. It's a plasticky little thing (even the mount), but has been getting great reviews and only costs 250 bucks. I figure with that and my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, I'm pretty well kitted out.

I have to disagree with what the one reviewer said about the Sigma 170-500. I find mine to be fairly sharp when stopped down. Somewhere, I saw some bird shots that somebody had taken with one and they were quite spectacular.

Buy the Best

The 80-200 F/2.8

No VR, but the best lens in the budget you mentioned

I think I'm jealous that you have so much money to afford to spend on lenses.

I would probably go with the 70 - 300. I've heard good about the lenses. but whichever one you choose, I can't wait to see the pictures!
