[QUOTE="SHAkers718, post: 424043, member: 37805"] A local camera store has this for sale for $345. I'm a sucker for a bargain. Also might be suffering with a slight case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome?) NikonUSA has this new for $589 (same ballpark at Amazon) and refurbished for $299. I know a lot of people advise to not fear the refurbished. Not even sure what my question is since only I can answer if it's worth it to me to add to my lens collection. If YOU were in the market for a telephoto zoom and owned a D3300 and/or a D7000, would this be a good choice at this price? Is this the lens that is supposed to have the pleasing bokeh if you are using for a portrait? BTW, this is only my second post (first new thread), so if not in the right category, sorry. I only sneak on this site while I'm at work so I am rushing. ;) [/QUOTE]
