It is popular knowledge that if you are shooting with a tripod, you should turn off VR on your Nikkor lens. I have shot on tripods with my Nikkor lenses and even if I forget to turn VR off, the result is not bad--perhaps a slight blur that I don't really notice. However, if you use a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC lens, beware of the VC on a tripod! You must turn it off.
Here is a crop of a photo of the skyline of Toronto on a hazy night. Except for the crop, the photo is unaltered in any way. You can see these diagonal streaks of light and ghost images. Well, that was VC at work.
I believe I wrote about this a long while ago but it was obvious I forgot about VC's issue on a tripod.
