[QUOTE="stmv, post: 96191, member: 10038"] ok,, I could not resist a bargain version on ebay .. 350 dollars, which considering what a hunk of lens this is, is really a reasonable price. Now, I will be able to compare the 80-400 with the 300.. of course, going to sell now my two old manual primes, one a converted pre AI 4.5, and the other just a AI, both 300 mm. Hopefully, I'll be able to sell both for around 250, and recoup most of my new 300 price. I don't see any reason to keeping these old 300 mm lens, versus the newer 300 ED AFS lens. I know that Thom H.. really went on and on about how awful was the tripod foot, but the pictures look really solid, so maybe I have am getting a newer verison, will have to try it on the tripos. When I am not hand holding, I like tripod, mirror up, cable release. I have to look into the 1.4 TC. [/QUOTE]
