I did not know that VR has a range where it works well, as it so happens , just these days have I been checking the 24-70 VR and the TAMRON 15-30 G2 , the latter having VR on-off only while the 24 - 70 has three positions ...Off-Normal-Active , and tried within a distance less than one mtr. the results were " unsharp " , on both the D3X and D3s , with the X being a bit better , but nothing to write home about,...tested against the 105 f2.0 DC and the Micro 105 f4.0 ai-s ,showing Sharp results , tested with shutter speeds of 1/8 ... 1/30 sec....was there something wrong with the camera`s , both of them ..?..I was close to being desperate .

so Eric, Thank You for pointing out that VR is having a limited range , out of wich it seems making matters Worse.( I have since " tested " the afore mentioned lenses on a longer distance and everything is pico-bello )

I wonder if Nikon would benefit from having an SLR made with the " Z " mount with an adapter so as to mount the " F " lenses, giving us the opportunity to slowly migrate to Better/Faster glass when the Missus permits,

I understand that Digital camera`s have to be focused Digitally so that sensor/flange distance can remain the same.

But perhaps our in-house Computer Wizard ( our Dearly beloved Chief Moderator ) could enlighten us.
