[QUOTE="taylorkh, post: 674154, member: 44240"] Thanks hark, This is the one I traced it back to by the MPN [URL]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/207359-USA/Nikon_1928_AF_Zoom_Nikkor_70_300mm.html[/URL] The retail price is about the same as evilbay so not a bargain. It if is the lens that it seems to be. I may contact the camera store ebay vendor on Monday. They have the lower priced 70-300 lens for the D3400 for a couple of bucks more than their evilbay listing but the corresponding UV filter is $3 less on their real web site so it would be a wash. Probably a decent lens for $140. It looks like the D3400 and perhaps all DX format cameras are limited on the higher end lenses. Is that true? I do not see any over 300 listed on the Nikon site for DX cameras. Yes, I realize that a DX 300 is about equivalent to an FX 450. I think that a 70-300 will meet my needs with the D3400 and if not I will just have to move up to an FX format camera. That was one thing I liked about the old FG. It was the entry level camera but I could screw it onto a $10,000 lens and it would take as good a picture as any other Nikon body on the same lens with the same film. Just not the same bells and whistles. At least that is what I told anyone who looked down on my "cheap" Nikon. I never did try it on a $10,000 lens :playful: Ken [/QUOTE]
