My order is in deal done! Just small extra to pay had hoped to get little better on trade in but there are a lot of take ups on the new lens and a lot of big lenses like mine on 2nd hand market.

The problem with these new P lenses is that you need the latest generation of camera bodies. Apparently a P lens doesnt work on D3 or D4. So you need a D850, D500 or D5. EDIT: See below. This is duff info from Ken Rockwell!

Shouldn't we refer to the Fresnel lens as a "PF" lens? We already have "P" lens series? If it has to be condensed to a single letter perhaps 'F' might be more appropriate?

Quote from article........from the Rockwell website. https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm "These new AF-P lenses only work on camera models originally introduced since about 2013. If your camera is too old, the focus system, even in manual mode, won't work at all, making the lens completely useless with no workaround. YES: They work on the D5, Df, D850, D810, D750, D610, D600, D500, D7200, D7100, D5600, D5500, D5300, D3400 and D3300. Be sure you have the latest firmware on the D610, D600, D5500, D5300 or D3300; older firmware versions won't wotrk with AF-P lenses. NO: They are useless because they can't focus in any way on any of the D1, D2, (this part is plain wrong ..D3 or D4 series, the D800 & D800E, D700, D300 series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70 series, D60, D50, D40 series, D7000, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000). They won't work on any 35mm camera either." So be careful on which site you take information from!

Culled from Nikon USA website: https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/camera-lenses/af-s-nikkor-300mm-f%252f4e-pf-ed-vr.html "The lens incorporates an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism. The following cameras are compatible with this lens: D5, D4 series, D3 series, Df, D850, D810, D810A, D800 series, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300 series, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100, Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4, J5 with FT-1, Nikon 1 V1, V2, V3 with FT-1, Nikon 1 S1, S2 with FT-1" My emphasis. I would expect the 500mm PF to have a similar range of usability. So unless the article you quote from is speaking of some other lens, I think it's plain wrong? Or, less likely Nikon are wrong? All that said I think it's unlikely anyone buying a 500mm PF lens will be intending to use it on a D1 or even a D2x

Thanks Robert. So that info that was in the review article that I quoted from was untrue. Thank you Mr. Ken Rockwell! https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm Probably needs a live test. I will go amend my post. I think the Nikon USA site is probably correct.
