Hey everybody,
recently purchased a used copy as well.
Man, this quite “old” lens is tack sharp, super fast and has a quiet AF.

The only thing I wan’t to point out on the negative side: It’s NOT compatible
with the Nikon D7500 crop camera. Which is a petty. D500 does work though!

Cheers!
Chris

Good morning / afternoon,
I recently purchased a second hand NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED II, unfortunately I am unable to find anyone who has this beast to provide any tips? Could you point me in the right direction.

Much appreciated

Stephen

Make sure the filter is clean and use a gimbel head on your tripod.
