They have one lens in this focal length with this aperture , but name is different. I heard less good than other 300mm f2.8 lens, but 150 GBP doesn't seems much for a try.

Okay, here it is:
And here's what it can do at f2.8 (handheld - I have big arm muscles now!)
Results: Surprisingly easy to manage without a tripod; a bit soft at f2.8 as can be expected; strong chromatic aberation with backlit subjects - a good buy if you want f2.8 and not f4.5. |

You can find higher-res samples on my Flickr stream:

I think was a bit hopeful with 100ASA. The high-res versions show a little bit of camera shake still - maybe 200ASA and 1/1000s would have been better. |

Thanks for the hi_res samples. Looking at those it's better than I thought. Seems to be slightly better than the non-ed Nikkor 4.5. Certainly a very good deal at the price you paid.

aperture, distance, light conditions, and any other you think can be interesting like : the original format (jpeg, RAW, ?), did you retouch or resize the picture with some photoshop, nikon capture?

Hey there, Shot in RAW developed into JPEG in Lightroom. I think I may have tweaked colour temperature, saturation, vibrance. I do this to every photo I take so, when I test a lens, I'm only interested in what my final picture will look like, not what it looks like straight out of camera. Not very scientific - but, hey, my lens

Thanks Attila for the welcome, my first time ever here, I arrived to this great site following the Asat Yashna 300 trail....there isn't almost anything about this lens in the net!!...I am surprised that a lens that can give results like these, doesn't have any review....
I was born, in a photographic way, in the far 1975 with a Zenit, and, for economic motivation I was shoot in B?W and print my photo in my garage...then Nikon film, then nothing for a lot of years, I live in the hot and wet tropic, not a great place for film, then the rise of digital with some small Sony, waiting for something from Nikon that could be at the level of the old film, without having to sell the house for to buy it, right now I am the happy owner of a D300, and I sleep with her, I admit....
Here around Nature is at its best and I am looking for a telephoto that permit me to shot some great moment of animal life without to have to sell the house again, and that's why I am here...I really would to have all the detail of the pictures of Puplet, because I am very scientific in the choice of the right lens, having to deal with budget, budget, budget....
hey Puplet do you have any other picture to show us?
I will thanks your for the rest of my life for that, and for the related, scientific infos of them.....
thanks a lot for your work, hope to be able to return this favor, one day....

I have damp-proof course black plastic which I use to make temporary lens hoods with - it's in a roll about 25m long, about 150mm wide. Like this stuff...
http://www.screwfix.com/search.do;jsessionid=2LQ0T1VQLPYLYCSTHZOCFFA?_dyncharset=UTF-8&fh_search=damp+proof+course
You can pick it up at any building supply store quite cheaply and it provides enough material for years of lens hoods
