(I'm EXTREMELY impatient) This lens is AMAZING for the money. And ignoring the money its OK. Not bad at all. Not good, but not bad at all. I took this picture with it: 200mm i think f/5.6 - http://www.flickr.com/photos/3594840...17334/sizes/l/

Thats at about 40 yards.

Admittedly, that is after SOME photoshop. But not much. Generic normal level adjustments.
Isn't VR pretty important for a lens that has that focal length? I know it greatly increases the cost, but I'd imagine it really improves the images.
