When I depress the shutter release half way I can feel the camera vibrate, it gets more intense as I move the camera. It's pretty wild. Net result though has been a much more stable image. Canons do something similar in their IS lenses. Sony went the other way and put the stabilization in the body so any lens benefits. But after my luck with my PS2 and long gone Vaio, I'm gun shy anything Sony now. From my understanding there are elements in the lens that jiggle while you do.

Seems like you have bought yourself a really nice lens there! It makes me wonder how the VR works??? I would think this would be handled in software inside the body and not on the lens.
