I have this lens and like it. The VR is fairly ineffective at macro 
magnifications, since the shake is way more than can be realistically 
compensated by a moving set of elements.
The fact that the VR does not work well for macro is pointed out in the 
lens' instructions supplied by Nikon with the lens (which I would not 
normally read).
OTOH as a stabilised normal lens it works brilliantly.
