As you seem to suggest, current IS is not supposed to help for macro shots (in fact, Nikon even recommends turning off VR on their Micro-Nikkor lenses). This is because IS/VR is currently designed to...

There is absolutely zero reason to buy this lens if you can swing a used 70-300/4-5.6 IS/VC from Canon or Tamron. It's a piece of crap that'll frustrate you unless you're outdoors in broad daylight.

The lens has a special macro switch you can activate between 200-300mm which IIRC let's you get as close as 2.5-3 feet and DOES provide a 1:2 "macro" reproduction ratio. Long macro lenses are useful...

By all accounts there's a significant jump in quality from the non-APO to APO type. It's a very good value at 165.

This does not have image stabilization built in, if anyone intends on using it not for macro shots.

I completely disagree! I purchased this same lens last fall and have been very impressed with it's sharp images. I use it mostly on my Canon T2i and it surprises me with much better than expected...
