Don't shake your lens!

With a mechanism suspended on a few wires, I'm sure VR lenses will not survive the same "power" shake.

Does it mean, even protected by camera bag, upon impact, the G value will still damage the mechanism? :think:

I believe lens makers has considered minor bumps on their lens design.

dang i cant live without VR

they are that fragile?

btw fatigue, are you in sg or overseas?

I think there should be a locking mechanism when the VR is inactive.

In the case of the 18-200VR, the FPC is more fragile. ;p

No worries, they are not that fragile.
What I'm trying to say is that we should not perform "power" shake, (the same intensity that could damage the aperture mechanism) to our VR lenses.
