Hi All,
I would like to see the number of VR lens owner (24-120VR, 80-400VR, 70-200VR, 200-400VR) in each States of our D70Users.com (Australia Only).
Edit:
Me? 24-120VR/ 80-400VR/ 70-200VR/ 200-400VR
I am waiting for the 300/ 2.8 AF-S VR and looking ahead for the 400/2.8 AF-S VR if it's released in the third quarter of the 05.
I've been told 3 x new PRO lenses will be released and among them is the new 400 AF-S VR. Santa, where are you?

1. 24-120VR
2. 70-200VR

That's all folks.

HI Birdy,

I am using 80-400vr
Steve

Add 1 x 80-400 for me

I'm just glad the 12-24's not VR otherwise my plastic would have been hit by now

70-200

80-400VR here... but you already knew that Birddog

i have.....70-200 vr.....200-400 vr

WOW a 400/2.8 AF-S VR mmmmm

cheers rob

As a dual VR owner do I vote twice?

70-200

me - 24-120, 70-200.

Hmmm a 400 prime with VR - how big will this baby be. And it's 2.8.

Won't be cheap though.

A new 500 AF-S f.4 is around AU$8K+
Rumor is the new series of pro lens will have the new 400 and 600.
Yes, if it's true the 400/ 2.8 AF-S VR will be a very nice lens for bird watching with TCs.

2 for me.
Cheers,
Gerard

If Nikon release a 500 and 600MM F/2.8 or F/4 VR lens I'll certainly be looking at it. However I bet it'll be going for a nice price of about $15k

Definitely no 500 VR as I got the info from good sources.
400 and 600 are the lenses which people are talking about.
Of course 600mm will be over 15k+ cos the 300VR which I'm ordering is 7k+ at HKG's price.

Birddog,

Will you have the above lens by 'AW'

I know of one 70-200mm VR in the ACT.
I have also seen a 80-400MM VR at the Rallye of Canberra.

I can see your lust there, hehehe!

Lens lust is always around

This lens is out of my league. I am very happy with the AF-S 300mm f/4D IF ED. But is always nice to look at fast glass with VR capacity and with the permission of the owner do a few test shots.

A 600mm VR. Sounds very expensive. The 600 is one heavy lens anyway so even with VR i wonder whether you could handhold. Can only dream...

I got the 80-400 VR but would love the 300 f/2.8

24-120VR here

Birddog

i will be getting a 80-400VR very soon

you mention a new set of pro lenses coming out this year
is there one to replace the bulky 28-70mm f/2.8 pro lens?

No, nothing will replace the 28-70, why should Nikon do it?
The 28-70 is one of their legendary lens.
Who said it's bulky on the D2x?

Nicole,
Who knows: perhaps the new generation of PRO lens will be lighter with a new and advanced techniques, so VR will be embeded into the lens.
Look back to the time line of Nikkor lens history: the old AI or AI-S lens then the D series and AF or AF-S, though Nikon do have the two versions of AF-S and AF-S II. The feature of VR perhaps will be expanded more into Nikkor line, but other issue: can we afford them or not?
As mentioned earlier: the Nikkor 300/2.8 VR is around AU$7K+ and it's the replacement of the Nikkor 300/2.8 AF-S II, the 500/ f.4 is less than AU$9K.
We can't afford them but a handful of Pro-photogs buying them as their tools of trade. I sold 02 x 500/f4 and 01 x 600/ f4 to just one guy, who's running a biz of doing works for National Geographics, sports.

My wife's camera has VR in movie mode on her point and shoot Coolpix 7900.

Does that count?

Will do if my next corperate photo job bears fruit, just waiting on the green light to start shooting then its another payment to the VR gods!

70-200VR - A beautiful lens. Rough on the hip pocket though.

70-200VR my favourite lens. (Not that I own many)
