What is the difference between Nikon VR and non-VR lenses?
Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens.
What does non-VR kit mean?
Image stabilization basically counters the camera shake you get from holding the camera, making it so you can use slightly faster shutter speeds than without it. Non-VR lenses do not have this feature, but cost less than VR lenses. For Canon lenses this is labeled as IS. For Sony NEX lenses this is OSS.
Is a VR lens necessary?
Yes. It works and it works great when it is needed. Typically you will only find VR or image stabilization as an available option on zoom or macro models. The reason why is simply most fixed focal length prime lenses has a wide enough aperture (1.8, 1.4, 1.2), that VR or image stabilization wouldn’t be needed.
Is VR worth it Nikon lens?
According to Nikon, VR or image stabilization can provide 4 stops slower speed than a lens without it and still yield a tack sharp photo. In most cases, Nikon is correct. I can attest that it works and works well, allowing me to take extremely slower shutter speed shots hand held that is still tack sharp.
When should you turn off VR?
When you are shooting with a tripod and remote release (landscapes for example), you should turn off the lens VR and IS settings to achieve sharper images. Otherwise, when your camera goes looking for a vibration and doesn’t find one, it will continue to look for one, which can cause a slightly shaky result.
What is VR setting on Nikon lens?
