The only cameras VR won't work on are either really old, or really cheap (think N70).
Ken Rockwell probably has a database or something showing what will work.
haha why didn't you post this in the Nikon section?
I don't know the Nikon side of the 35mm world, but on Canon EOS, the IS lenses work on all the film bodies to my knowledge. I suppose on the Nikon side it would depend on whether the electrical contacts could support the lens inputs. I would guess the F100 has the necessary contacts.

film is irrelevant to the lens. the film does not denote whether or not VR will work, the camera does.
Actually, I guessed that ppl here were more likely to know if an F100 would work with a new VR lens than ppl in the Nikon forum. I don't really think that using Velvia or Tri-X really matters. But thanks for pointing out .
VR works on any of the film bodies with 5 or more AF points.
This means the F5, F6, F65, F75, F80 and F100 all support VR, older bodies do not. These bodies also fully support AF-S focusing and G-type lenses as well as being able to power PC-E lenses. The F6 also supports i-TTL flash (and thus is the only Nikon film body to support the SB-400 and SB-900). No film body can set aperture on a PC-E lens from the body.
