What does VR II mean on Nikon lens?
Vibration Reduction
Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens.
What is DX VR lens?
Any Lens that features the letters DX, like the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR, is optimized for Nikon DX-format sensor cameras. The AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR features ED glass and a variable aperture.
Should I have VR on or off?
When you are shooting with a tripod and remote release (landscapes for example), you should turn off the lens VR and IS settings to achieve sharper images. Otherwise, when your camera goes looking for a vibration and doesn’t find one, it will continue to look for one, which can cause a slightly shaky result.
Is a VR lens worth it?
Yes. It works and it works great when it is needed. Typically you will only find VR or image stabilization as an available option on zoom or macro models. The reason why is simply most fixed focal length prime lenses has a wide enough aperture (1.8, 1.4, 1.2), that VR or image stabilization wouldn’t be needed.

Unless you are always shooting landscapes, there really isn’t any reason to consider something else for the job. Taken with a 18-55mm kit lens.
Is FX better than DX?
Yes, FX camera bodies and lenses are full frame! The FX sensor, with more “light gathering” area, offers higher sensitivity and, generally, lower noise. The DX-format camera can use both types of lenses (DX and FX) since the non-DX lens image circle is larger than needed on a DX-format camera.
