Haha, a colossal typo. It was meant to be ‘Fresh and Classic’ towards Peter’s shots of vintage car shots!

One from couple weekends ago. 70-300VR, D700, cropped post capture as well. I noticed the VR just not working anymore about 3 months ago (tried cleaning contacts, moving switches, use on two bodies, etc), thinking that repair is not worth the cost with the current prices of a used 70-300VR or the Tammy. Anyone with a different experience?

Beautiful shot! Proof that gear is only a fraction of what makes a great shot. I have no experience with any of the 70-300, but I have read the new -e version has fantastic optics for the price.

IIRR, the new E version doesn't work with older cameras though, since they need updated firmware in order to work with the lenses, which no longer have the switches on them.

I bought my 70-300VR about 6 or 7 years ago used off eBay. Cheap, so I didn't expect much. I only use it on occasion and so far I never noticed anything strange with the VR. In fact that VR system works better than some current 70-200 f/2.8 non-Nikon glass I rented. However, the only time I turn it on is for really long exposures. Anything else, I just keep the shutter speed high above speeds VR has any impact on the images it takes anyway. It's a nice thing to have for snapshots in poor light, but the lens is so slow, I rarely put it on the camera when it gets darker. In fact, I probably shoot it at f/22.0 with an ND filter more often than anywhere between 1/60s and 1/500s, which is the range you'd expect the most benefit from the VR system.
Good thinking the contacts may be dirty, but if it is something basic electrical it may be the on/off switch for the VR on the lens. The camera contacts don't really tell the Nikon VR anything other than shutter speed maybe. These zooms are so cheap, professional service doesn't make sense, and unless you love shooting in low light handheld below 1/500s, VR won't improve your images anyway. At least the AF still works, so you still have a 70-300mm.

Are you saying D700 is old ??
I was interested in the 70-300 E . Poop

It's not the E that's the issue (all FX bodies support E lenses, as support was introduced with the D3/D300), it's the AF-P support, which isn't present on the D3(s/x) or D700. The 70-300E is also AF-P.
