Although I feel the need for VR I'm getting closer to 250mm, this lens works great with my Nikon D70S in ALL cases. I have no complaints, be it focus speed or image quality/sharpness. It has become my favorite lens - 5 stars for the dollar. I had the Nikkor 18-200 VR in mind but for the price I went with this one. I've been using SLRs for 15 years and just switched to digital. I've never had a VR experience and remember constantly having to switch between 18-70 and 70-300. My 70-300 had the same jitter problem as I approached the 300 and this problem will always occur at longer focal lengths. Use a tripod for long focal length situations in low light. With this lens I don't have to change lenses while lying on the floor which is a big plus. I use it with my event photography monopod and to be honest it does its job very well. Note, however, that this only works well with APS-C format DSLR cameras, where the CMOS sensor is almost 24 x 16mm. It was the perfect choice for my D70S. A++++++++++++++++.
