where there’s smoke there’s forum fire

It would be interesting to see a comparison test of the old and new wouldn't it?
Do you mean the Nikkor 2.8 VR 1 and VR 2 compared? If so, the new VR 2 smokes it considerably judging by what I have seen and read on the net. Good idea iris about comparing all three from F4 and up. I hear the near F4 VR III has very similar optics to the new 70-200 VR 2 I guess we will find out soon. Lots of info and shots coming I am sure in the next 4 weeks and into 2013..

sharp, good with teleconverters, some distortion at 200mm
....and halo to you all, my first post here.

Geez are the prices for the older Nikkor 70-200mm VR 1 ever dropping like crazy. New or used this might be something to consider as well. Great deals for pro 2.8 glass!
Yes they are!! For a pristine 70-200VRI 2.8 @ $1,200 (like I've seen offered) would be TOUGH to pass up!! Glad used prices finally went down. I think the newer 4.0 will certainly have better optics, along with more distortion, lower build quality, and lower resale value.
