Use it all the time on my D-7000. Love the nice sharp pictures I get from it.

I am with Acountry330 - have the D7000 and the D3. Use it on both - great lens on both bodies.

It is not necessary, but of course VR is one of those things that if you do need it it is great to have. For me, it is not needed.I do mostly portrait work and even outside I am using strobes or speedlights, so I do not miss it at all. I have VR on my 70-200 that I have had for over 9 years and I bet I have not used the VR function 20 times....OK, maybe 23.

Personally, I would not wait for a VR version, but if you do a lot of low-light, hand-held stuff, then the VR version could be just what you want.
