[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 814066, member: 10742"] Welcome to the forum... Your lens isn't really your problem... The problem is the D300... It's a 12.3 Megapixel sensor released in 2007... Technologically, even though it was considered a semipro camera in 2007, it's now the equivalent of entering a horse in the Daytona 500 race... Entry level cameras are now at 20MB resolution and semi-pro and pro cameras are in the 40+ MD range... All the lens formulas have also been improved... Your options are... Buy a new current body and continue to use that lens. Or better yet, buy a new kit (body and lens) that covers that focal range... You can buy "new" or you can buy "Reconditioned" Nikon frequently has "reconditioned" kits on sale...
