Default 70-200VR performance on Fx

http://www.diglloyd.com/diglloyd/blo...7Nikon70_200VR

Seems the beloved (on Dx) and expensive 70-200VR is a casualty. Many
posts on DPReview about this - many in denial mode ("it's a PJ lens - so
what if the corners aren't sharp?" etc).

"The problem is so severe that stopping down to f/8 or f/11 (or even
f/16) is insufficient to overcome it; it appears that the 70-200VR
simply cannot “cover” the 36 X 24mm frame adequately."

Bjorn Rorslett has "downgraded" the lens on FX - but not far enough if
that performance is typical, as it seems it may be.

Nikon did warn that Dx had some advantages.
