Q: 1. Does it come with a nice hard case like the Nikon 70-200f/2,8 or just a draw string bag?

A: This lens does not comes with a hard case. It is to small of lens to have a hard case. The hard cases comes for long lenses and the only time i use my hard case is when i travel internationally.

Q: 2. just in case I wanted to use this lens on a tripod does it have a tripod mode?

A: As per Nikon this lens does have a tripod mode, that is the VR system automatically detects that you are using a tripod which effectively shuts down the VR while using a tripod, similar to you manually turning off VR when using a tripod with older versions of VR.

Q: 3. I hear the old lens has a 10 year lifespan. Will this lens also have the same expected lifespan?

A: The lifespan of a lens is determined by the user and how they use/treat the lens. I've got some lenses in my kit bag that are several decades old, and others that I've had to replace within a few years. If you care for the lens and don't abuse it you should have many years of use from it, but there is no hard and fast rule stating a lens will only last X amount of years.

Q: 8. From the reviews I'm gathering it looks like the improvement versus the old G version is the addition of VR and optical formula is an improvement but not by much, correct?

A: I tried the Nikon 24-70 FR lens but sent is back because I did not think the Image Quality was very good. I think the Tamron 24-70 is better. The Tamron has excellent image quality and the VR is great and that is what I now own a am very happy with it.
