Paflyer, if the lens you posted a photo of is your lens, it is NOT the VR lens that Bram boy was talking about. It is the older version without VR and requires a focus motor in the camera. It is an ok lens but not nearly as good as the newer lens. I have the D lens myself and it is tolerable at best. It is slow focusing and not always on focus for moving shots because of it's speed. it is a f/4 to f/5.6 f stop so your going to have to either shoot higher iso or very slow shutter speeds in anything but good light. Don't get me wrong, it is a good lens but there is a reason Nikon decided to upgrade it and the new one is way above the older one... The old one retails new for $173 and the new one retails new for $590.. they are both the same f/stop but the newer is an AFS lens and much faster focusing. The lens you show in the photo is the older lens.

You should sell that one and pick up a refurbished 70-300 MM VR
Mine focus instantly . I use back button all the time . Shoot eagles in flight
at 1700 shutter , on nice days and iso 300 or 400 .
