[QUOTE="hark, post: 624539, member: 13196"] I compared a preowned copy of this lens against the AF-S version just this week. The one you are asking about is insanely sharp--in fact I couldn't tell a difference between the two as far as sharpness goes. It is slower to focus than the AF-S, but for the price, it would be amazing. The one I looked at was $399 which is still cheaper than what B&H and Keh are offering. You might want to read up on its Focus Limiter to maximize what you get out of the lens. Setting the focus limiter is supposed to help the AF speed. I didn't play around with that setting so can't be of help in how it works. [url=http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/forums/thread22617.htm]Focus Limiter on Nikkor 300mm f/4 AF ED[/url] [/QUOTE]
