The VR variant & normal G-type, the price differ 5 times.

I'd classify this as a poor man's tele.
Image quality: So-so.
Focus speed: Average.
Low light condition: Bad & need to hunt a lot. Even under fluoresent light in a room.

VR lens would normally cost more than RM2K.

and prime lens (f2.8) would definitely cost more than 1K.

A rough estimate on how much lens should cost http://www.photokaki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4318

Good place to scout for lenses

beginner lense. its a must have when u start photography. after all its not that expensive. bought mine for 350 i think. brand new. yes its not a very good lense if its on low light condition. but it works wonderful during daytime. sharp even at 250mm.

some sample shots
