[QUOTE="captain birdseye, post: 667524, member: 21047"] I used the 300f4 af-s version permanently attached to a tc14eii converter for a few years and found it to be an excellent close quarter birding lens with the addition of it also being a great lens for butterflies and dragonflies with its decent minimum distance focussing of about three and a half feet which gave a good sized image of the average british butterfly or dragonfly with superb sharpness. I decided to offload mine as I moved on to a longer focal length for birding and, as there can be a problem with the 300f4 when, if sitting unused for a long time it can develop a squealing noise from its focus motor decided not to risk this happening. It really is a great lens but care must be taken when buying used due to the motor squeal if you are unlucky. Also, this lens has no rear element so it is advised to check for dust inside the rear of the lens. [/QUOTE]
