On All heavy telephoto lens it is important, and when panning or hand held , moving subjects , as wildlife doesn't stand still for too long. on a wide angle I agree not worth spending the money .


Actually I use the VR more on my wide angle because low ISO and high f-stop needed for scenery images.

For wildlife I use minimum Fstop, shutter speed of /1000, and float ISO with the light. Many animal pics are in dim light. That's why you see sharper images with like the constant f4 Nikon 200-400. Or with a 2.8 when you can get close enough.

And why the new 200-500 won't match it because of constant 5.6. But it might match the 80-400 at the long end.

Here is a GREAT deal - http://www.ebay.com/itm/SIGMA-APO-TELE-MACRO-400mm-F5-6-D-AF-Lens-for-Nikon-F-Mount-150630f-/321827727787?hash=item4aee6d69ab

Many claim this to equal the Canon 400 ....you do need a screw drive for this lens.
