Wow, that's a REALLY neat lens.

I wonder if that would be useful to help deal with mirror slap

Anyone seen the price yet? I couldn't find it there. I love my other VR lens, so this will be a MUST HAVE.

Now that is a cool bit of gear...

IS/VR on a macro lens makes much more sense than some of the other lenses Canon/Nikon put the feature into.

Kudos to Nikon for doing it first.

Oh... OK, the VR dosn't work close up from the reading of this from that site:

- The VRII function minimizes camera shake by offering the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 stops* faster at near infinity to 3m (1/30x reproduction ratio) shooting.

Another Must Have! Oh jeeze my wallet already hurts!

From what I gather, it still works, just not to the extent of giving you 4 extra stops faster unless you are between 3m and infinity. Might only give you one or two extra stops. I'm sure this one will put a hole in your bank account though. :)
