There you go! If you haven't ever or rarely shut VR off and shot in many
various conditions other than on a tripod than you clearly haven't even
begun to learn how much better that lens will do. It's a phenomenal lens
that is even much better when you use it properly. Do yourself a favor
and
shut VR off on some of your upcoming shoots and you might be surprised at
how well this lens does.
I think Ed Ruff mentioned he could see a difference. Maybe he can confirm
his experience if he wants to?
Anything I could tell you about the effect that the VR elements have
on image quality is either (a) conjecture, (b) hearsay, or (c)
bollocks. I am not an expert in lens design. I can only go on what I
*do* know, which suggests that, while the image *could* perchance be
sharper from the 70-200 if it had no VR, this doesn't really matter
since the quality is so good anyway that any extra would be
superfluous. But if I try to tell you about lens design, please
don't just take what I say as gospel. The world is not flat, but
don't take my word for it; I didn't measure it. I just heard that's
how it was.
LOL! Good point. I don't know how true it is, but many have claimed the
80-200 is much sharper than the 70-200. I don't have an 80-200 to test my
70-200 against so I can't confirm this. Would I ever get rid of my
70-200?
HELL NO! It's a great lens, actually one of my favorites.
Some claim, with some reason, that the 70-200 f2.8 non IS is sharper than
its IS version. But VR/IS won't affect your shot negatively due to it being
turned on or off, because the elements are there, whether activated or not.
Your statement that VR can negatively affect image quality needs some
additional explanation. The only way I can see that it would affect a shot
is if the photographer became too dependent on it to save shots, and ignored
proper technique, which is hardly the fault of the stabiliztion system, now
is it?
