[QUOTE="Brian, post: 256840, member: 17621"] Nikon never made a "Nikkor-Q 300/4.5", the "Q" would stand for 4-elements, "Latin". They made a Nikkor-Q 135/3.5, 200/4 and OLDER (1952) 25cm F4. Nikon did make a 5-element Nikkor-P 300/4.5, and a better 6-element Nikkor-H 300/4.5. These lenses should run in the $100~$150 range as you show. These lenses are "pre-AI", will work on your camera - but the meter of your camera will not work. The Minimum Focus is around 13ft, so no shooting close with it.
