I've been waiting years for this replacement. I have the old one, and while it can be fun to use, the focusing is painfully slow, and it isn't usable wide-open at 400mm. Stopping down 1-2 stops is required to get anything useful at all, and then you start losing the benefit of VR.
On my D90, I set the aperture to f/7.1 or 8 and set auto ISO to use a minimum shutter speed of 1/100 or so, and hope the ISO doesn't get too high!
Not thrilled that the price is about double what I paid for the original.
