Looks pretty good. Improved VR, no more vignetting on FX, all rolled up into one lens.

Wow. The photos from the new lens looks very impressive!

[Winkle]

Woooooo... I would like the have the new one but can't justify spending the extra $500 to 600 for one more stop in VR (I use a cropped body anyway so no vignetting issues with the old one for me).

That lens is so clear.

Haha... the funny thing is, I'm sure the bride appreciates the 100% crop of the pores on her face.

So... Nikon Canada supposedly reduced the price for the 70-200 VRI down to like $1900 so why are Henry's and every store still listing it for $2120?
