Upgrade From Nikon 18-70 to Nikon 18-105 VR?

I realized that most of my pictures that had been taken with my previous Nikon 18-70 and using shutter speed below 1/30 are mostly blur and not sharp. Then I heard about Nikon 18-105 VR. Yes it was the VR that really interesting for me. So, I sold my Nikon 18-70 and bought a Nikon 18-105. Since then, most of my pictures taken with shutter speed below 1/30 are mostly sharp. Even I can get a sharp pictures with a 1/4 second shutter speed hand held! Can you imagine that?

So if your on a budget and thinking about upgrading your lens from Nikon 18-70 to Nikon 18-105 VR just go for it! Unless you have a big fat wallet then go for Nikon 18-200 VR or Nikon 16-85 VR. VR really works! Trust me!

AF Problem Nikon D90 with Nikon 50mm F/1.4D and Nikon 85mm F/1.8D

Back before I acquired my Nikon D90 I always put my trusty 'bokeh factory' Nikon 50mm F/1.4D or Nikon 85mm F/1.8D on my Nikon D70. The bokeh was amazing and the picture was always clearly sharp even though I set the aperture wide open at F/1.4 or F/1.8. But on my new Nikon D90 most of my pictures that have been taken with both lenses (with object more than 4 metre away) was not as sharp as the one that had been taken with my previous Nikon D70. Sometimes it back focus or front focus. My two bokeh factory lens is collecting dust now since I have my Nikon D90. I miss my Nikon D70.

First Picture Taken By Nikon 18-105 VR

This is my first picture taken by Nikon 18-105 VR lens. The lens was at 18mm and shutter speed at 1/8 second. Yes, VR really works, I love it. Take a look at the hand of the lady with the purple scarf, it's a little bit blurry because of the slow shutter speed but overall the picture still sharp!
