Christian, you may as well just change your tag name to "golden hour". Copyright it and be done with it. I'm always amazed at the quality of light you manage to shoot in.

Thanks! And that's in spite of the 120+ rainy days we've had this year, lol.

Well, he's smart. He shoots right and also posts his good stuff.
Anyone have any experience with the older non-VR versions of this lens? I'm thinking of picking one up. I plan to avoid the AF-i model, but I am looking at the AFS versions pre VR (I believe there were two). Any particular model I should be looking at? Should I just wait a significantly longer time to save for the VR version? I already have a gimbal and tripod so I'm thinking I can pick up the older model and then sell down the road to help fund the VR version when I can get that.

The AFS II is a little lighter than the G, but make sure it works because I seem to remember that parts can't be had from Nikon any more.
That said, handholding this lens without VR would be challenging even for me, so I fail to see its appeal.
