VR is definitely a boon on these. The old AF-S has much better contrast at the long end and is completely free from vignetting on DX as it has a larger image circle. Whether it is worth the price premium is another matter... Another advantage of the AF-S is that it has switches instead of being controlled by software. This makes it much faster to work with when you need to change VR modes during shooting.
I read your other post now... The D7000 don't support the AF-P lenses, so the choice will be between the AF-S 70-300 and the 55-300. In that case, the 70-300 is far superior. The difference is larger than between the 70-300 versions.
I did not know that. Yeah, but i was also thinking about maybe 18-200mm or 55-200, what do you think of them, 70-300 af-s is a bit more expensive.
what would you recommend for me, i have a 50mm, up to 150$, 18-200 or something else?
As you have no zoom lenses and a limited budget, why not go for the kit duo? 18-55 and 55-200 give better results than the 18-200 and are often sold off as people see them as junk lenses, which they definitely aren't. I don't know what prices are like where you live, but sometimes a Tamron 17-50/2.8 and a Tamron 70-300 can be found near the $150 mark together.
I was thinking a 18-200 cause that a bit wider angel, but i just found a 55-200mm VRII for 150$. Which one to choose?
Get the 55-200, but try to talk it down a bit... Finding an 18-55 VR or an old 18-70 cheap shouldn't be too difficult. The 55-200 is a *very* good lens, even for full price new.
Yeah i will try. I just want to be fast and sharp lens, so it is better than 18-200mm.
And how it is perform on landscape photography, i know that is not that wide but still, will photos be sharp?
It is sharp enough and has low enough distortion so you can stitch shots together in post to form a wider view.
As Peter recommended, the 18-55 and 55-200 combination will be much better than the 18-200. If it were me I would go with the two lenses, even if I had to buy one now and one later.
I have a chance to buy a 18-55mm VR II a new version, so how it performs, is it sharp and fast, is gonna perform good on my D7000. And is it to much to pay for it, it is 125$?
As you have a 50, in what direction don't you think that works? Do you want a wider or narrower field of view as your first zoom? If the answer is that you often have to take a step(or several) back and still don't get what you want in the frame, start with the 18-55. If you find that you very often need to crop to just show your subject, start with the 55-200. Only you can answer these questions as we all see differently.
The latest version (AF-P full frame) is by far the sharpest. It's even sharp at the 300mm setting. All previous versions are soft at the long end.

Sharpest, yes. It doesn't work on a D7000, though.
