Thank you Oliver...I live in south Florida/USA....

Two "herds" of about 6 deer each roam in small groups through a nature park (Riverbend Park, Jupiter Florida) with about 12 miles/8km of bike/walking trails where many people walk/run/bike and never see them...but the deer show up more in early morning (hence the nice diagonal light) before most (noisy) people come and in that quiet time they allow me to follow them... I go there for my 2x/weekly bike/exercise ride....and photography...

Thank you Kita.

About the Nikkor K 4.5/300mm I received.
I have to clean the back glass and can't reach it with my spanner wrench.
Do you know how to dismantle the back part of the lens so that I could reach the back lens group ?

Try cleaning the rear element with a 6" wood cotton swab...not sure where you can find them but it might work...or try wrapping some lint free material around a chop stick?

Unfortunately it's Inside, so I have to unscrew the back glass. Confused

I bought the lens recently. I was very disappointed when I put it on my Sony A6000 mirrorless. I then read this post and decided to try it on my Nikon D7200, even though I thought I could not use the non AI lens on it (the lens was tight when I tried to put it on my camera). Finally, It fitted and I snaped a photo. When there is not enough light, the lens just didn't shine. I tried it on my D850 and took a photo with a camera flash, stopped down at f 11 and wow, it is pretty sharp. I am going to try it again tomorrow when it is daytime.

I've had the Nikkor-H 300/4.5 for almost 40 years, had it CLA'd and converted ti Ai over 30 years ago. I currently use it on the Df, have used for wild life and airshows. Never fails to please. Some of these lenses have led rough lives, mine has been well cared for. Check for any light haze, or misalignment of the elements. A brick wall test is sometimes useful.

Beautiful shots from a great lens!

I have the AI version of the 300mm f/4.5 which is also fine. Mine is not the ED or EDIF version, but still very sharp!

The Nikon lens designations can be a little hard to keep straight. The sixth edition of Moose Peterson's Nikon System Handbook helped sort it all out for me. Here is it on Amazon, you can also get it cheaper on Ebay.

Cheers,
