I have received back my quote from Nikon UK, an eye watering £165.00 !!! How long would this clean take, it isn't even a service, just a clean :( 30 mins? 1 hour? I am sorry but this seems extortionate for a clean, I could understand if it were to replace a part but a clean can be a regular...

Hi, I have been reading mixed reports on the '300mm f4.5 ai lens' and was wondering if anyone has any shots that we could look at taken with this lens and what their general opinion of it is? I am considering using it with an F2.
