[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 27638, member: 6573"] I just received my new (used) Nikkor 300mm f4.5 Ais MF lens today. I bought it because it was reasonably cheap and I wanted to try MF. I entered the lenses information to the camera (similar to the D7000) which includes the focal length and max aperture and it was ready to go. Please pardon me for being a newbie when using a MF lens since I have very limited experience. Using older lenses require adjusting the aperture ring instead of the command dials of your camera just like what you normally do with your "D" or "G" lenses. The lens has a serial number that was dated or manufactured back in Nov 1981. The lens that I got looks excellent or near mint condition. This is my longest lens so and for now my only MF lens so there is a lot of learning for me to do. I just wanted to share you this classic lens and it's got a new home now. The D700 is bringing a new life to this old warrior. I'll add more later on once I receive my Nikkor 28mm f3.5 Ais lens next week. Cheers. Built-in lens hood extended.
