If this one is priced at $1300, I wonder what Tokina price will be.

Just waiting, then might rearrange my lineup.

The question is.. does this new VR make this thing work as well in low light as the 2.8 VRII version?

supposedly the VR is better , now it might not Aquire focus as well as a 2.8 lens in real low light so it is a tradeoff
