Thanks for pointing that out. It was an oversight on my part and it's now been fixed =) I do agree about the importance of VR/IS on the long end though. This lens is hard to use in low light at max zoom without a tripod! Hi Nicholas! Thanks for pointing that out. It was an oversight on my part and it’s now been fixed =)

I don't think there is an older 70-300mm with VR. The 70-300mm VR is definitely more than RM500, I think it is now RM1900 or so. If you are looking for one below RM500, then it could be the 70-300mm, without VR. But 300mm without VR, you better hope for really really good weather :) And that lens work well only if you stop down to f8 at 300mm. Have fun playing with the 70-210mm :) A classic indeed :)
