SixDasher, I'm not sure that you are correct. Take a look at some of Nikon's long glass. There is no Nikon 500mm f/4 VR I, just a VR II - denoting the second VR system and NOT the second version of the the 500 f/4 VR lens. Nikon had many other 500 f/4 lenses before the VR II version came out.
Miguel http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k307/Miguel_Palaviccini/gatorengineering.jpgBad example, there is no Nikon 500mm f4 VRII only a Nikon 500 mm f4 VR. At least that is what Nikon refers to the lens as on their website and that is also what is written on my copy of that lens.
As stated above, in Nikon speak VR or VRII just designates when VR was added or when VR was updated on a lens.
Yep, looks like you are right as Nikon only lists it as VR and not VRII:)
I wonder why BH, Adorama, Amazon, etc all have it listed as VRII:
