Why does NYSpeed have an infatuation with Nikon DSLRs? I know of one member that has a Canon and that’s it. Oh well. > [@Zong](#): > > How important is VR anyways? I don’t have Parkinson’s. If you go to Batavia you can see the difference, and if it’s applicable. I’ll be shooting with a lens that doesn’t have VR, and Jim will be shooting with the same lens that does have it. Of course different bodies, but w/e. ---

But with that said sometimes you need it, which is why I’d want a 18-200 ideally. but if i had a choice i’d def head out of the house with a 55-200mm over the 18-55mm any day ---

> [@Zong](#): > > he has been working out… > > How important is VR anyways? I don’t have Parkinson’s. for zoom lenses, VERY important. That’s also if your lens has a good VR system though. Nikon has a good set up, and works very well for me. I can take handheld shots 1/125 of a shutter right at 200mm and have them come out clearly. It’s an amazing tool. Just don’t leave it on when PANNING. aaaahhhhhhh. bad experience with that. ---

Yeah when I used it at Dunville, I ended up deleting almost 300 pictures. I could not figure it out at first. Rookie mistake I should not have made. Although I’ve never had a VR lens until just recently, so I didn’t know. ---
