Does VR affect image quality?
VR doesn’t reduce the image sharpness, it just reduces the effect of very high shutter speeds. An image with VR at 1/500s will have the same sharpness as an image at 1/4000s with VR, but an image at 1/4000s without VR will be sharper (slightly, and the shutter speeds are just exampes).
How do you test a VR on a Nikon lens?
mark_drutz. A simple test is to set the lens to 105mm and the camera to S. Shoot one shot with VR on and one with it off and keep lowering the shutter speed. If the VR is working you should see a difference when the shutter speed get slow enough.
Are Nikon VR lenses worth it?
Yes. It works and it works great when it is needed. Typically you will only find VR or image stabilization as an available option on zoom or macro models. According to Nikon, VR or image stabilization can provide 4 stops slower speed than a lens without it and still yield a tack sharp photo.
Is VR important on a lens?
Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens.
How do I know if VR is working?
Re: How to check if VR is working? Focus on something in the distance and activate VR by half pressing the shutter. The difference will be obvious in the viewfinder. Everything seems to click into place.

How Vibration Reduction (VR) technology works?
Generally, vibration reduction technology works when a camera and a lens creates a good partnership in a DSLR camera. To diagnose the diagonal movements, Nikon VR lenses have 2 sensors to sense the movement. One sensor detects the vertical movement, and another sensor senses the horizontal movement. Together they are diagnosing the diagonal motion.
