Testing the Nikkor 200-400mm

Yesterday, at grocery shopping, took my Nikkor along for a shootout. The day was overcast, and drizzling, so not the best times to shoot a long zoom with F4 maximum aperture. However, with VR, it was a different proposition altogether. Here's the evidence.

The first shot was taken at 1/50sec, ISO 400at F4 at 400mm. I had to wait till the lady paused at some expression to get reasonably sharp shots.

This one was shot at 1/80sec, ISO400 F4 at 360mm. Without VR, these shots would have not been possible. Colour and contrast seems to be superb.
