Has anyone purchased or tested this new lens from Nikon 70-200 f4 AFS VR G.
I dont aim to get it as I have the f2.8 version but it seems like a good alternative with modern cameras now able to provide ISO 6400 fairly easily with little noise.

Nikon Mag did a review comparing to the 2.8 version. Stood up well but Pros go for the 2.8. I'm thinking of one to lighten the load as I begin to creak more and with good higher ISO performance nowadays.

Depends on the ISO standard used. 

Is Hi Beef more dense than Lo Beef  ?
I understand there is a thing called Hi Horse that is now used in UK food, my Dad did warn me about this hi horse stuff when I was a kid!

Could be and maybe bit's of minced up cart too.

It seems Romania have just made it illegal to drive horses and carts in their streets, that it seems, why they are dumping all this horse, donkey, mule and goodness knows what else, meat on us.
