Hoorah! Took delivery of my new Nikon AFS 70-300mm VR f4.5-5.6 G IF-ED and i am well chuffed to say the least. :clap:

Can't believe how quiet and quick the AF is and the VR is excellent. Will post pics as soon as i give it a proper run out. :D
 
Excellent... You'll have to keep me posted on how you get on... I'm VERY interested in this lens!!!? :D
 
Im sooooo jelous, this lens is on my shopping list. Will have to wait a bit though until I save for it :( .
 
Got it from Cameras2u.com

http://www.cameras2u.com/products/d...N=be74be-ca6c3451-7b5c-486b-b94b-834bcd66c0d1

used discount code: cm2u-pr06

cost something like £332 and got it next day for extra £3.95 on the postage.

two sample pics straight from camera nothing other than resize and save for web. Both taken at 300mm f5.6 1/6th sec! Handheld, obviously underexposed but it was best way to show VR at work.

I think you can guess when the VR was on and when it was off - and i was really trying to hold it still.

VR OFF - No S**T Batman!

Will post some proper pics asap.
 
Wowwwww that VR one is amazing. This doesn't help my itching to get this lens, was watching one on Ebay the other day with a buy it now price of £320, the fingers were so hovering over the buy button.
 
Got to admit i got the bug after trying my mates VR lens on his 350D, but would have bought the lens for the HSM and the sharpness alone, the VR is a nice bonus.
 
I want one - I want one - I want one

However I also want the sigma 10-20mm and the Nikon 105mm VR Macro and the Nikon 50mm and the 18-200mm VR... :bang:

I need some money!!! :help:
 
Decisions, Decisions, lol. I am now looking for a low range zoom but have to save hard first, maybe a 17-50 tamron or an 18-200 VR if i can save enough.

ppp - I can understand why you would be after a 17-50 but unless you want a "one lens" solution why they 18-200? It's a great lens but a 17-50 will give you better results at the wide end and your 70-300 will give you better results at the long end - I tried the 18-200 myself & found myself going back to a three lens setup of ydangle / mid-range / zoom ... Paul ;)
 
A mate has just got a tokina 12-24 F4 nice lens, had it on camera for a little bit yesterday. He got it for £250 from onestop digital on ebay.
 
yeah must admit i was pretty much set on the Tamron 17-50 as the 18-200 is more money and less available. Did think about a Nikon 18-70 but still think the Tamron would be a better bet.
