70-300mm lens comparison

Is there likely to be any difference in image quality between these three
lens?

NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED

and

AF-S VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Zoom-Nikkor

and

AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 D

Thanks

Cheers, very helpful. I think now I want to have a good look at the
80-400 f/4.5- 5.6d ed af vr. A lot more expensive but I don't want to buy a
lens and then find I wish I had spent more money for something better.

I have the 70-300 f4.4-5.6 lens with the plastic
lens mount and i have no problem with it.


I know Ken Rockwell is the whipping boy on this site.
However if you want appropriate information check
the two links below on the ED and G lenses.

I've used all 3. The ED glass in the VR is definitely better than the ED
glass in the non-VR (even though they are both labeled ED). Chromatic
aberration was much more pronounced and focus was slower in the non-VR.

The 3rd lens you mention lasted on my camera for maybe a week. I was
lucky to get a shot that was in focus.

The VR is a dream to use.
