I have the older non-VR 105 mm micro Nikkor and several VR Nikkors. I have handled the VR 105 at my local camera dealers several times and had a good play with it. I decided not to upgrade because if you are using the lens on a tripod you switch the VR off. I can see it might help if you are hand-holding but for any type of Micro work I do, the camera is always on the tripod so the upgrade seemed pointless to me. If I am handholding I use a 70-180 mm Micro Nikkor. To me VR on a micro lens is as useful as udders on a Bull.
