Ian - how do you find you 300mm f4 - I'm getting into "birding" and going around in circles - there is no way I can afford a 300/2.8 so I looking "on the margins" at Sigma fixed focal and their Bigma 50-500 ....maybe the 300/f4 with a TC could be an option
in the longer end I only have a 70 300mm VR (D300) and a Canon 200mm f2.8 MF which I use on my G1 plus tripod, (for garden shots)
Hi Bill,
My 300 is the 300mm F4 IF ED version not the AFS - it is a superb lens that works well on the D700 and is razor sharp. I picked mine up in superb condition with the built in UV filter intact as well as UV filter and leather front cover for if I remember correctly about £380.00 I have seen them lately for £450 - £550 but they are a great lens and cheaper than the AFS version that has a lower quality build, is larger and around £850 used!
