The VR is nice for sure. That is the only reason I'd buy this lens though. The maximum aperture of f/4.5 at the wide end really bothers me. It's saddening in a way.. I'm not sure any of the 70/75-300 lenses could satisfy me. I'm still impressed with the tiger shot though
I did just pick up a used 300mm f/4. I can't wait to put it to good use
