I'm trying to decide which is the best option, here are the options:
Basically the decision is between a New Nikkor Micro 105mm VR vs the non-VR version which is a little older.
bhphoto.com
Telephoto AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR (Vibration Reduction) Autofocus Lens - $759.95 - new
KEH.com
Same thing as above @ $695.00 with a EX+ rating
OR the NON-VR version of the above:
EX+ rating = $569
EX rating = $525
I was hoping the used version of the non-VR would be significantly cheaper...but you are only looking at roughly 200 dollars. The new one has VR (even though maybe not useful for the macro aspects) and it would have a 5 year warranty. Thoughts?
I asked b/c I've read many reviews on both products and the non-VR lens seems to be just as good.
