Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: VR Is Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been very skeptical of Nikon and other brands' vibration reduction claims, but finally decided to give it a try with the Nikon 70-300 VR. The lens is well-made, with a solid feel for a plastic lens. The weight of the glass in this lens probably also adds to the feel of the build quality.
The optics in my lens are outstanding (I'm using a full-frame D700). Wide open in bright light and 300mm, it gets a little soft in the edges, but in virtually all other conditions it's sharp and contrasty. I don't have a high-dollar fixed focal length lens to compare, but I think the vast majority of amateur photographers would be happy with the results from this lens. The zoom range is huge, and I've found it works well as a portrait lens in decent lighting. The minimum focus distance is very long, so it's not great for indoor photography in tight spaces, but it's not really designed for use in that environment to begin with.
The VR works wonders. The first time I really tested my lens, I had just finished a pot of coffee before we headed for the dog park. Even with my hands shaking from the large amount of caffeine I had just stupidly ingested, the image in the viewfinder was stable and still. I was able to walk with the camera pressed to my face and still get good photos of my dog racing around the park. Active mode is extremely helpful when taking photos from a moving vehicle. If you are planning a Safari or any other activity that requires photography from a moving truck, this lens is a must.

Description of Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
The AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is a high-performance super telephoto zoom lens that has been designed to meet the demands of both digital and 35mm format SLR users. It offers a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm on a DX Nikon D-SLR) and features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that ensure superior optical performance. This lens incorporates Nikon's second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed that is four stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and quiet focusing action, and the nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.Zoom
