That's why you'll never see Nikon put VR on lenses of 50mm and wider
since they know it doesn't work. They let the rubes buy Canon WA
lenses with IS so they feel all warm and fuzzy. The new 14-24/2.8
and 24-70/2.8 are prime examples of utter perfection. Too bad they
won't work on the old Mk III.

I guess the 18-200mm VR lens doesn't count?

Actually no. Nikon never made any claim written or otherwise that VR works
at 50mm and wider. I'll bet if that lens were a 18-105mm you wouldn't see
VR on it. ...

Not that it's a great lens or anything...
