[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 341746, member: 24285"] Picked this up from Henry's.com's eBay auction site for $92.99 US. Read some really great reviews of this older lens and since my only long lens is a Sigma 100-300 which apparently isn't the greatest of long lenses (it is 1990 something vintage) I figured for less than $100 I'd give this Nikkor a go. I've not taken many photo's with it yet. Sample of one is posted below. Tried out it's close up (macro?) capacity taking a photo of my parrot. (I wonder why when I'm shopping on eBay.CA, buying from a Canadian vendor in Canada and I'm in Canada why on earth do I have to convert to the US$ to make my purchase - eBay does take a premium in converting currency. Is this the same elsewhere? If a German, buys a product from a German eBay seller is the purchase still in US dollars? - Just a side rant).
