Lets see... maybe after the festive period then I go NUG lar... problem is I hate driving to town lar... if NUG is more conviently located at someplace with cheaper parking. less people and cheaper coffee...

Typo error on 240 VR

oooo.. didn't see this, is yours with or without local warranty? good price, even without the trade-in.

Pro - Good range with VR, SWM, good build.
Cons - soft at WA, slow, not wide enough for DSLR

4. Staz
Pro - Good Range, fast focusing. love the vr as well. soft image at 5.6 makes it good for taking portraits too.

5. Kerpalz
Pro - Good range with VR, SWM, good build. the cheapest VR u can find!!!
Cons - cannot find... unless comparing the AFS VS USM hahaha

6. rtbh
Pro - good range for walkabout, swm and vr. yup! cheapest nikon lens with vr and swm.

10. Got it for 850 new, local warranty, used it extensively on a 2 week trips through M'sia. Makes u lazy to change to other lens.
pro- AF pretty decent speed, sharp at longer range.seamless auto-manual mode, solid feel.
con- WA not wide enough and not cosistent, compromise battery life, VR not as effective as those on 80-400 VR....tried a friend's 80-400, it's VR was so amazing. Positioning of Focus-zoom rings.

Now I'm tempted to get this VR 24-120 mm! It is by far a lot cheaper than my other dream lens:

1) 17-35 mm f2.8
2) 12-24 mm

pro: good range, contrasty pics, VR is a charm even at 120mm, 1/20
con: angle not wide enough. Would have loved for it to be 18-125.

phrozact · 13th February 2005

12. jeff3tan
Pro: good walk around lens, good range, VR is useful indoors if bright enough, will be able to handle some 1/30 shots pretty decent, colours is excellent, speed is good as well.
Cons: Its not wide enough, like what Jamestan mentioned, it would be good if it was a 18-125 instead.

phrozact · 14th February 2005

To all those who purchased this lens, mind sharing how much you paid for it? Wanna know what to expect cos I'm thinking of getting it sometime next week.

sam_always · 14th February 2005

Hmm...ok ok, I think I'll be getting this lens soon. Might get another battery though I dont think I'll need it as long as I recharge the battery daily. VR will only be used during low light conditions, not all the time.

jeff3tan · 14th February 2005

If the VR is on when using flash, I find that it slows down a little, not sure does other users find that too

. But generally Its a fine piece of glass .....

phrozact · 19th February 2005

Just bought this lens and tried it out during the Chingay Rehearsal. Power man...the VR worked better than expected!
