I am selling my 70-300 f4.5-5.6 VR lens. It is in perfect shape and takes great photos. Asking $300 OBO and that includes shipping to anywhere in the US mainland. Does not include alaska or the islands.

I have had the 70-200 2.8 for about 2 years now and love it. My issue with it was that many times it just did not have the reach for smaller wildlife and long distance shots. On the flip side it is one of the best portrait lenses I have used. So for the moment I have added a 2x nikon teleconverter to the mix which is lighter than the 70-300 and reaches out there to 400mm before the crop factor. There are down sides to the swap but they seem to be minimal for the time being. I will most likely be looking for something in the 400-500mm range in the f2.8 or f4range most likely the f4 as I am not prepared to have my wife divorce me for spending $8000 on a lens just yet :)

So far the swap is good 400mm @ f5.6 Vs 300mm @f5.6 and when the light is messing with me I can always remove the teleconverter and shoot down to 2.8
