today I sold THE heavy 300/4.5 and immediately clicked on EX condition 50/1.4 AI.... so soon you should be expecting some new photos
in the future I'm planing to buy 200/4 Ai (I want 52mm filter size on all my lenses) so my collection is always changing but best lenses always stay in my bag |

yeah I guess so... 300/4.5 just wasn't sharp enough for me (ED IF version would be better though)
for the tele range I'm picking between 200/4 ai and 80-200 ai, but majority of these zooms have loose zooming soooo..... |

ED-IF is sharpish from 5.6, but still a bit soft at f4.5. TO be fair though, I compared it with my Canon 300/4L which is way newer _________________ Graham - Moderator

Well, if you're used to L glass it gives a basis for your comparison. When someone says a lens is sharp, it may not be if they've only owned a Holga.
I was on the lookout for the Nikon lens, but after reading that, I will forget it. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

Having said that, I've just remembered the state that my ED-IF is in...let's say it was used professionally Performance does seem to tally with what I've heard elsewhere though, where people have compared the newer Nikkors to the old ones _________________ Graham - Moderator

Don't give up on the 300mm ED-IF -- it's a great lens, sharp, easy to use, rugged, elegant. I find it difficult to properly handhold any 300mm lens, but if I had to do it, this would be the one. Here are some images with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaeger2/tags/300mm/
On the subject of 52mm filter sizes, I can relate. I've recently bought a Nikkor 28mm and a Nikkor 105mm -- nice to have lenses that can all share! _________________ "Here's to the wonder" -- Alan Boyle
