I don't know if it's been redesigned optically, but it is cosmetically different and has AF-S and VR. When I tested a Nikon D700 that was the lens that Nikon sent with the camera. I thought something was wrong with the camera until I tried it with some better glass. I agree on VR; it's great. It's just a shame that subject movement makes it less useful for what I do, but a camera with built-in anti-shake and good f1.4 lenses would be nice.
