Having bought the camera based on the logic that I already had two lenses to fit it I.e a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 ais and a vivitar 200mm f3.5 both obviously manual focus . I am now looking for more reach , I have quiet a few I'm watching on evil bay ranging from 70-300vr through 300mm f4 af and also a lot of Nikon 300mm manual focus . Through to sigma/tamron 150-600 variants .the latter being the obvious choice for reach but not aperture . .. my old 300 f4 with t.c 's was a firm favourite but no vr ... Somebody give me a cheap option p.o.v o

Zooms don't play well with TC's, ideal would be the new PF lenses but they ain't cheap. I have an AFS 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G VR which is unloved, I usually pick up the 300f/2.8 despite it being MF if I want reach. I got it when I got the D3 but hardly use it. Unlike the 24-120, which together with the 16mm fisheye, I love on the D3. If your interested I am sure I could be persuaded to part with it. Far as I know it's in perfect condition. PS. I was recently made aware of this market place, the prices are very appealing. I have not had any dealings with them but know someone who has. https://www.mpb.com/en-uk/

sounds interesting Robert , can you p.m me a price please . as for MPB I have dealt with them in the past but if selling they tend to be very picky over items and will often beat you down on offered price and seen a few complaints on other forums where there have been problems with items

just ordered a Tokina 400mm SD f5.6 manual focus lens , not what I really wanted but it fits my budget requirements at the moment and if needed will also fit/ work with the micro four thirds gear with the adaptor which I already have . . should hopefully get it just before xmas . at just over a hundred quid its not going to break me . . it will do for now anyway

 No it would have been personal delivery only! I don't do posting lenses if I can avoid it. Just tying to be optimistic.  Until you try it you won't know. Sometimes if you don't expect a lot you get a pleasant surprise.

When I first started doing the sport I was using a Tokina 300mm f2.8 and the IQ was good.
