Pros: Price much lower than the "original" (found used in excellent condition), a TA bit soft but already f4 amazed me, closing gradually improves and gives risulatati exciting.

Cons: Weight ..... but with a view like that is nothing new.

Opinion: I bought this used objective doing a great deal, the dealer allowed me to try it for half an hour he was so convinced of what he was selling and got home I analyzed the shots to your PC and the second file I picked up the phone by calling the shop to remove it from the window. Mounted on Nikon D610 keeps the autofocus in a very satisfying and can not find it slow, we must always consider that no engine so as to work are fully satisfied, try also with 2x multiplier Kenko DGX PRO and works well even in continuous focus. The sharpness from f4 onwards has been the thing that has surprised me indeed convinced ..... I can not compare with the Nikon original but to surrender I do not care even knowing it given the cost. Not being very common perspective I had doubts but are dissolved in a moment, in essence if you get the chance to find it in used do not run away I highly recommend it.

Pros: High sharpness, color fidelity, robust construction and impeccable service, price (to be used)

Cons: AF slow and old-fashioned, chromatic aberrations, weight and balance (with lens hood), are difficult to find

Opinion: It 'a lens this little known, even in the web tests and reviews are very rare and of all foreign sites. Now discontinued, were produced few specimens so it is not easy to find it in the world of used. My sample used, I bought it directly from Japan and it was almost a bet for how little I knew of this lens. After a few months of ownership I can safely say that the bet is won, so I'm happy with this telephoto lens. The sharpness is very good already wide open, closing a little 'becomes excellent, close to that of the more famous nikkor / canon also fitted with multiplier hardly notice the difference (I use the Kenko PRO 300 1.4x, which probably comes from the same establishment). The construction is very sturdy and well made, the barrel is quite heavy but in line with the other three hundred f / 2.8. The lens hood is very sturdy and heavy enough to tip the balance forward to the lens, so it is advisable to use a youis like "Gimbal". Standard mounts already a protective filter screw on the front lens from Tokina 112mm always marked, also housing a "drawer" filter holder with a diameter of 35.5 mm. We now come to the painful notes, first of all autofocus: Nikon for attacks or mount the built-in AF motor, so it is used as mounted on Nikon (with the exception of entry level series d40/60 and d3000/5000) so you can easily guess that the speed becomes low and the focus a bit 'noisy but still acceptable. For this reason, the best use for this is to dell'appostamento to shed, instead it would be more problematic photographic safari to view wildlife wandering the lack of a stabilizer. Under bright light and direct sunlight will have many chromatic aberrations bluish, more easily removed with the software when an objective conclusion pprnIn exciting when you consider that you can take home at the cost of f / 4 again ... rn
