[QUOTE="RobV, post: 499873, member: 40570"] Nikon's names for all of their 300mm f4(ish) lenses are all so similar, I thought I would put the year in the title for clarity. Just came today. My camera is only a week old, but I am hot for some moon pictures! Honestly, I thought I was getting the AF-S when I ordered it, but that just shows my newbishness. No matter, it is a fine lens, and will do what I want, which is spend most of it's time on a tripod. If I do get away from there, I have my hiking staff/monopod. So I snapped a few pictures: The flag is across the street, two doors down, [ATTACH=CONFIG]183175._xfImport[/ATTACH] The Chateau is in my next door neighbor's back yard, [ATTACH=CONFIG]183176._xfImport[/ATTACH] The tree is one that I photographed earlier with the kit lens, and wasn't too happy with the sharpness. This lens brings them right in! [ATTACH=CONFIG]183177._xfImport[/ATTACH] The purple bush is across the street the other direction, again two doors down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]183178._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the lawn tractor is across the street, slightly to the right. I decided to set the camera on "S", and I cranked the aperture all the way down to 32, and the camera compensated by cranking the ISO way up! Lots of noise in the picture.
