ok seen, wanna ask the following:
the part in red, y they will say 27-300mm lens leh???
Nikon has some new lens with VR that is close to the focal lengths you're interested in.
- AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (5.3x)
- AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (3.0x)
However, do take note that they are DX lens... Meaning you will have to multiply the focal lengths by 1.5 due to the Nikon bodies having 1.5x crop factor. Even if you mount them on full frame camera like D3, you can't really shoot it at full frame...
Anyway, why do you want VR for lens in this focal length range? Assuming you're shooting at 18mm wide, according to 1/focal length rule, your shutter speed can go as low as 1/18 seconds or even lower before the handshake is significant.
Nikon's VR claimed to help you up to 2 to 3 stops... But I think better alternatives to these lens will be 17-35mm f2.8 or the 17-55mm f2.8 (this is a DX lens btw), even though f2.8 VS f3.5 is approx 1 stop...

Well, of course, the 1/focal length rule is only a guide and I know it's subjective... My hands are shaky and 1/focal length don't work for me...
