Nikkor 300mm f/4D AF-S

Anyone had any experience with this lens? Get some decent condition ones going for around £500 which seems good for such a sharp lens!

Aware it's quite old now though and can't seem to find a massive amount of info on it!

Thanks both. Going from those comments I think I'll get one when one comes along for a good price and possibly a 1.4x TC as well!

Thanks for the replies

I find Wex to be great for used lenses, you get a bit more comfort than going down the eBay or local ad route.

There is one currently for £429 although with a bit of wear but it will be functioning perfectly or they wouldn't touch it, you might want to research the 300mm f/4D and 1.4TC results, I think I remember reading you want to go for the older 1.4TC II rather than the latest III version as they work better together.

Thanks! Will take a look

Im still extremely happy with mine.
Used most of the time with the 1.4 tc.

For that sort of money it's a bit of a bargain.

I use a sling strap with mine.
Its about as heavy as I'm happy to carry.
I mostly shoot handheld.
But I also carry a monopod as it's heavy to hold for too long.

Focus performance is pretty good on my 7100.
The AFS motor makes the screwdrive models less attractive.

Good to hear as I will also be using it with a 7100 until I've saved for the D500

Usually shoot with my Sigma 150-600 Sport handheld so the weight may actually be a bit of a relief!
