I have a d50(my wife has the d50) and was looking into the 300mm lenses. Is the VR worth the extra $$ looks like i can get an AF for $150 and the new version is almost $600.00 we have the 18 to 55mm plus the 55 to 200mm without the VR. anyhelp would be appreciated. Shhhhh its for her Bday...

I don't think the D50 has the VR option so it would be a waste of money. D40's don't just the D60 that Z and I and a few others have. But look into it. Does your current lense have a VR setting?

[jmvotto]

no i do not believe so.

[Sled491]

Yeah I think you are better off with the regular 70-300 not the one with the VR option.

Sled, you just saved me some "new boat toys"

Thanks

You just need a sponsor for the college fund for all those kids and then you can spend a little money on yourself

Amen, i am competing with kane for most kids in the moombie except he just got a bigger boat. maybe that means he have more kids

College funds

No more kiddies here. Got a Suburbanfull already. They'd have to ride in the boat on the trailer.

As for college fund, as I told my eldest daughter: "Honey, you are going to attend the finest college in the land to which you receive a scholarship."
