Birddog,

I must confess:

24-120VR, about 6 months old.

Contemplating:

70-200VR


Cheers,

[birddog114]

fozzie,
I added your name to the VR bug's list

[Nicole]

Birddog, so you've finally fessed up hey! I think you are the instigator of all lens lust.

Off to work soon and when I get home...should be officially part of the club.

Have a good day and post your experiences after you have the baby in your hand

Does that make me a VR bugger?

Oh, bugger!

Oh, bugger!

Gary,
not only you, I'll have that title too

[MHD]

I have VR on all my lenses now

Its one of those fancy three leggeded VR units

[Mj]

And I'm in the worst of all possible situations. VR bug with no VR three legged or otherwise !!!

[Glen]

I already suggested banning you Birdy, and that was before I saw how many you have infected

[the foto fanatic]

I am considering the 70-200 VR - too good to pass up.
Birdie, do I email Poon direct? Or is there another way that everyone uses?
Thanks
Trevor

Trevor,
You can get it via me, Poon will direct ship to you.
Sorry, I don't like the ING

[mudder]

G'day,

Add me to the list of those bitten by the 80-400mm VR bug... Sigh.... Looks like the plastic money will cop a hiding again... Ahhhh well....

Cheers,
Mudder

[Greg B]

Geez louise, that's a lot of VR gear right there.

[Deano]

Score one more for me too - 24-120 VR.

Reading about the 70-200 in the last few days I may have to feed the lust again soon.

Cheers
Dean

As Yoda said, 'Arh, VR clique developing i sense'.

[Nicole]

Well. My 80-400VR has arrived and only just been unpacked. Hopped on to say a big thankyou to Birddog.

Everything went so smoothly and never any hassles at all. Very excited. So hot here today but that will not stop me!

[gstark]

As Yoda said, 'Arh, VR clique developing i sense'.

An elite "VR Owners section" of the forum perhaps?

Keep those nasty tripod users at bay?

[gstark]

Nicole,

Congratulations.

Go forth and magnify!

[Raydar]

Can someone post a picture of the D70 + 80-400 VR and D70 + 70-200 VR thanks. The bug got me . I'm still deciding between the two.

[Capturedview]

I can imagine sitting at the rocks at manly beach, shooting surfers with the 70-200VR.

Time to start saving

[Dargan]

OK, OK! VR exclusive members.

Which one? Either the 70-200 or the 80-400.

I can see I am going to be drawn into another purchase but not both. So does the extra reach of the 80-400 still give you the sharpness of the 70-200? Any other comments?

[birddog114]

Dargan,
We were talking about it to day at my base:

Full fridge of imported beers as Corona, Beck, Heinecken Etc...
Full cellars of good selection and collection of reds.
Compliments with smoked ham, smoked salmon, Pate foie, bread roll etc...
Free try and testing all available gears.

Memeber only needs to have a VR lens to qualify even without the camera. Buy or have a VR lens then qualified!

[Mj]

My goodness!!!

Quite an entry fee, but just look at the benefits !!!
Given the cost of the kitchen I've just agreed I continue to have some thinking to do

[Raydar]

Dame!!!!!!

Yet more reasons to get a VR.
The list just keeps getting bigger

You make it bloody hard for bloke guy’s

Cheers

I might have to consider making a NON-VR club for those of us that can't afford to take the plunge.

In the fridge there's;
Emu Export Lager,
A bottle of cooking sherry,
El Cheapo label Bourbon,
1.25L bottle of LA Cola, (For mixing the Bourbon)
Smoked Ham flavour potato chips,
Twisties and Cheezels,
Doritos and sweet chilli sauce. (can't afford salsa)
And a bowl of Franklins salted peanuts.

Entry Requirements:
Double Plugged Thongs.
Esky full of BYO's
Car that leaks engine oil, (Either Ford or Holden)
Camera and/or lens (Optional)

True, i don't eat Cheezels, Twisties or Doritos either.

The flavoring will be exactly that: flavoring. A chemical additive.

When I worked at the Gallo Winery there was a room full of these things, used to test and determine how to make their coolers taste like apple, apricot, peach, or whatever.
