    If it's anything like the 70-200 VR vs VRII then I'd suppose there is a pretty significant difference. However, how this will show in real-world shooting, I don't know. Better answers to follow.

    The question you should also ask, is will there be a significantly noticable
    difference on film ?

    You should try to test it on Velvia, to see.

    Maybe you can save a significant amount of money getting the Version 1.

    It could be a very versatile lens, providing you just use a TC14E teleconvertor. I have read horror stories of soft imaging in compositions more than 20 metres distant from camera. I wonder how much of this is technique or poor IQ of the lens itself. I wonder how it would fare at infinity landscape shots.
