This is a question specifically for those who have used both the VR and VRII version of the 70-200 2.8. I went back in the threads to the D800 release and didn't find anything on the topic, so my apologies if I missed it.
Given the significant price difference between the VR and VRII versions, I was wondering if anyone has seen any real world difference between the two lenses, not only in terms of image quality, but also in terms of use. Is there a significant difference in sharpness or AF speed between the two? Last time I used a VR I was happy with the speed and sharpness, but I was also using a D2Xs with significantly less resolution. Is there a big difference with the 36mp sensor or 51 point AF? Any other issues I should know about?
For point of reference, I would likely be using it often in low light, shooting live music, indoor equestrian events and ice hockey, as well as at weddings in addition to outdoor use which isn't as heavily reliant on VR.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
