What is Nikon VR?
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.
Are VR lenses worth?
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.
Should I turn off VR when using a tripod?
In such cases, use of a tripod is recommended. Please be sure to switch VR off when a tripod is used. However, with VR lenses that detect tripod vibration and automatically reduce the effect, set VR on, and with lenses that employ “Tripod mode”, set VR on and select Tripod mode.
Does VR affect image quality?
VR doesn’t reduce the image sharpness, it just reduces the effect of very high shutter speeds. An image with VR at 1/500s will have the same sharpness as an image at 1/4000s with VR, but an image at 1/4000s without VR will be sharper (slightly, and the shutter speeds are just exampes).

Which Nikon 24-70mm lens is best for portrait photography?
However, the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G is a clear winner here, showing visibly better center sharpness from f/2.8 to f/4. This is one of the main reasons why portrait photographers disliked the 24-70mm f/2.8E VR, as it is not as sharp as the 24-70mm f/2.8G in the center frame.
