  • The tank

    The first impression is the incredible build quality and its weight. They do not make them like that anymore. I also love the built-in lens hood, also metallic. The only plastic thing on it is the focus ring. The one I bought is over 20-25 years old, and looks like new. This baby was build to last. Maybe I was lucky that the seller preserved it so well, but the glass is perfect. No fungus, haze aso. The only downside that may be is that is completely manual. I have no problem with that. Being manual has some advantages. No AF motor to break, and you can tell it Exactly where your focus should be. Obviously, no vibration reduction, but also an advantage and a disatvantage. Less parts, less chances for things to break. I bought it mainly to shoot from a tripod, and I can tell you it does the job perfectly. Extremely sharp and saturated images. It IS an issue firing it handheld, but that can be surpassed. Go over 1/1000 sec and all should be fine. The focus ring is sturdy and takes some effort to turn it, but that makes it very, very precise. The aperture ring moves from f/4.5 to f/22 in one stop increments. Overall, I find it the best performance/value lens I have so far. Its price was less than $200! And it will last longer than any 300 mm or equivalent produced today! I love it and I hope that you all will have a chance to try it someday! There will be love at first sight.

  • Built for the ages

    This is an 80's vintage lens. The seller described it accurately complete to the fleck of dust on the back side of the front element. I bought this lens for the solar eclipse in August and wanted a lens that would produce the fewest artifacts. I'll be using it on a Nikon D750. I read reviews that it did not produce ghost images. So, that was the first thing I tested for and was pleased to see that it was indeed free of ghosting. I suspect a currently produced lens of equal focal length will be a bit sharper and have a bit greater contrast. However, for the very low cost of entry and very high build quality, I expect to have lots of fun with this lens.

  • Bargain price for a great vintage lens.

    If you're not put off dealing with a manual focus lens, this is a great one. Takes a little adjusting to different settings, but a sharp lens.

  • Old but still great

    Older Nikon lenses are still fantastic. The Nikon F mount means you can use these lenses on modern Nikon digital cameras. Gotta love that.

  • 300 IF-ED with 1.6x, 2x TC and 3.6x on Nikon D500

    After disassembly and cleaning the camera lens works well and at takes clear images manually with and without a 2x, 1.6x teleconverter and the combination 3.6X. It was attached to a D500 which has excellent low light high ISO capability.
