The VR is full frame and I use it on my 810 and 7100. The 810 is way stronger in focusing and on some lenses I feel a big difference but the VR is good. Real glass too.

to jlocke: I have been wrestling with the same question, as it is time to replace my Sigma 70-300 DG OS, whick I loved and was very sharp. I am thinking of the FX version (#1 on your list), even though I have DX camera bodies, because the "sweet spot" will occupy a larger portion of the frame. The $500 is about my budget.
However, the earlier post about the 55-300 intrigues me. The photos seem very sharp. Also, I have been using Sigma lenses since the very early 1980s, so am partial to them, and would consider a full frame Sigma 70-300 with OS.
You seem very knowledeable. Do you have any further thoughts?

Hey Hoggers asking the real experts. I have been looking at Nikons 70-300mm lens for my 7200 I see a f/4.5-5.6e edif vr cost 596 and a f/4.5-5.6g e cost 396 what is the difference why is it 200 more? Is the latter that much better?
Thanks
Thanks
YES, don't cheap out ! ......the latest full frame version is the "best" in all aspects - if you are serious.

Simply because they seller wants that amount. Unknown about how they got the lens. Inherited? Stolen? Pawn Shop. That is a very nice piece of glass. Buying on line can pose issues. Insure returnability.

The $396 is a DX, and on your DX camera it will be 70-300, The $596 lens is a FX, and on a crop sensor, your DX body, A FX lens will be a 105-450mm. I am surprised this has not been mentioned. So if all you need is 70-300 save some money. Both lens get great reviews.

Hi Royce,
I don’t know what you have decided to buy but, I listed the Nikon AF-P 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 E ED VR lens on the UHH a few months ago. It didn't sell. If you are interested in it I would be glad to adjust the price so that the lens finds a new owner since I have switched my camera equipment over to a mirrorless format.
Here's the link from my previous posting of the lens.

Hi Cliff thanks for the reply. I plan to stay with Dx and my 7200. I have researched the 18-300 I have the 18-140 as my walk around daytime lens but want a little more reach. All the research I have read says the 70-300 is pretty sharp to about 275 which is fine with me, My only ?? is the 2 vr lenses one is $396 the other is $596.
The dx lense is a 55-300 I believe. I may be incorrect but my wife has the 55-300g and I have the 70-300g both have vr. Hers says dx on the barrel

To everyone posting images using a zoom lens, to include the camera and lens shooting parameters as well as the approximate distance the subject was to the camera would be genuinely helpful.
