Pros: construction, Current price used, bokeh, sharpness,

Cons: Maybe the weight but it's also part of the quality

Opinion: Taken used for only 300 euros, deserves everything that costs and even more. I use it on d810 where it does not make me feel the lack of the engine in Optics. Engages the subjects well and the AFC works well, for Fauna (no Birdlife) You can also use at 1/320 freehand without feeling the lack of VR. Slightly slow to go from 1 to infinity but if you know what you want to photograph is not a problem. Absolutely recommended if you do not want to spend high digits for the new PF.

Pros: High-level construction, aesthetics, integrated lens hood, natural colors, sharpness

Cons: There are no cons is a optics of the 1987, which works well also on modern DSLRs

Opinion: Use with great satisfaction this lens especially for sports photography (cars and motorcycles) excellent sharpness already at full aperture, which further improves from f/5.6, and natural colors are the strengths of this lens, well built and made in Japan... Only glass and metal, autofocus accurate and fast enough, very comfortable the lens hood integrated. The price of this used lens is very low, but the performance is high... Obviously it requires rapid shutter speeds for the lack of VR. Recommended purchase

Pros: Construction, Sharpness, Bokeh, Integrated Lens Hood, Price

Cons: Due to age, lack VR

Opinion: Excellent optical quality also with current ultra-dense sensors (used on d800 and d7100), very clear from TA and also has a remarkable bokeh for the lens type. From the constructive viewing point is a span superior to any existing Nikkor lens, metal and glass, even one gram of plastic, and the comfortably integrated sliding hood. Unfortunately with the present machines it is hard to use it with a free hand and even on the tripod, especially with some wind, I do not recommend falling below 1 / 1000s. For the current price, under the conditions of 300 to 400 euros is definitely a must-have, especially if you do not get to use much this focal length.

Pros: Construction, lens quality, integrated lintel

Cons: Slow age, age

Opinion: Bought at 390 euros in excellent condition, it is a lens with excellent design quality: all in metal, very heavy. It has a very narrow optical array, but it has EDs lenses in it.rnThough crisp and extremely hot and warm colors, it still feels the weight of the years when coupled with many pixel sensors, although it remains an exceptional lens if compared to the cost With which it is in the world of the used. It's all too cumbersome for the focal type. It is decently clear at full opening, from f5. 6 very sharp, has a magnificent bokeh typical of the nikon afd series. For those who want to spend a little and have a good 300mm without the pretense of having a samsung but afs series, this is the lens that works for him, obviously if used with AF-powered louvers. Great in many ways, in my opinion, the best of myself with bodies that do not exceed 24 megapixels

Pros: Sharpness at TA, blurred, building.

Cons: Maybe the weight (for others) but it's a subjective thing

Opinion: The goal that has amazed me more than the others in my kit. Before you buy I read so many reviews and viewed a lot of photos. The yield to TA is moving, blurred is beautiful, clean and pleasant. And 'built in a solid ... the manner "Nikon old style". With my D3 falls in hand perfectly and is balanced optimally. I tried it (with Manfrotto 680B monopod) for the first time to a football match of my son (boys aged 14 who run like crazy with sudden changes of direction) can also be used very well by hand libera.rnIeri ... of 310 photos has not cannata no (also using the barrage) ... all focus although it is not an AF-S. Surely he puts af D3 which has its operational but the speed of this is absolutely notevole.rnLo highly recommend it for those who want the best results with little expense.

Pros: optical quality. Enjoyable blurred. Excellent construction.

Cons: Internal engine does not have a focus, as other objectives of his generation

Opinion: Creaminess. Only for this, it should be purchased. A bokeh pictorial die, an outside fire clean, round, bright. It has many other qualities, this lens. Sharpness, too. If only the Nikon D800 on the latter feature is a bit 'thrown into crisis by dialogue with resolute sensor, here excellence would have kept without making distinctions. Another small weakness, but common to contemporary objectives: does not have the internal engine of focus, touch to rely on what the machine (provided it is not an entry level, which does not have the power take-off near the union to do so). Result: the AF is not as rapid as objectives that the internal motor have it. But we must go from here. It 'a beautiful goal, is to make people understand what it means mellowness not separated by etching.

Pros: Excellent yield, even without a tripod handy, clear, unbreakable

Cons: Having only used today for the first time I can not declare anything

Opinion: The curiosity to use it with my D7200 is a lot, especially after seeing the sensational shots despite being a lens dated. I bought the modest sum of € 250.00 - arrived yesterday and today I tried capturing a buzzard in flight, and being the first time I use this gun freehand can only be said to be very satisfied, I imagine the results if I use it with a tripod. I followed to the letter the advice of those who have preceded me in the comment (Josh), that "for those who look at the substance and not to the latest news, if you do not miss out"

Pros: Lug, good results even at room temperature.

Cons: Afs slow but tolerable.

Opinion: Lens dated but indestructible that shaves in goals latest and complete. Quality / price (used) excellent. Combined with Kenko pro 1.4 works discreetly if a little 'slow in focus. Without stabilizer (given the ID card) when used wisely it gives high quality images. It is used for those who look at the substance and not the latest novelty, if not let him escape.

Pros: Solid, crisp, excellent yield, is bought with two brisk, very favorably multiplier 1.4, the size "human" allow you to shoot without a tripod.

Cons: does not have the AFS

Opinion: I use it intensively (3-4 times a week for 7-8 hours each) for a month along with the multiplier Kenko 1.4 and I have to say to be soddisfatto.rnContrariamente what predettomi by various users, although it is not a lens AFS is used to make hunting Photos from the shed and with a little 'practice you can overcome well enough to slow dell'AF.rnrnInoltre, is used in very low numbers and are unable to use without a tripod, making it imho a great lens for beginners and photographers Sunday .

Pros: Construction type "gun" ... solid, excellent performance already at RT. Built-in hood

Cons: Compatible only with old TC Nikon AF or losing with new third-party TC, AF slow but manageable.

Opinion: Got it used at half the price of his successor AF-S optics ... tough, well-made, metal and glass. Great ... f4 already blurred ... creamy colors typical of the slow autofocus AF ... typical for optical mechanical with "PTO". rnMoltiplicato often with Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x becoming a 420mm f / 5,6 AF and maintaining a good quality. Tending to the "purple" strong reflections on the water ... attention to the presence of its internal filter 39mm ... is part of the optical system. X Recommended especially those who do not want to spend big money and want a perspective of quality.

Pros: Optical performance, price, construction

Cons: AF slow, do not mount the 1.7 multiplier

Opinion: Great view, excellent value for money. The construction is very solid, from the impression that we can walk on. My copy has some problems in the precision of focus, partially resolved with the micro setting. The AF is slow, it is not ideal perspective for moving subjects.

Pros: sharp, excellent workmanship

Cons: weight, cost filters

Opinion: For my use a great goal. The AF managed with integrated limiter and do not forget to "M" selector, is sufficient even in AF-C with the tracking. The length and the masses at the ends make the critical choice of the easel abbinargli. I owe my not extend to the maximum penalty vibrations moved in step with even less time. rnPreso used to 400 € complete with all accessories except the box, really like new like condition, it was a great affarern

Pros: Good optical quality and sharpness; rnOttima build quality; rnBuon attack tripods; rnParaluce an integral part of the body (subjective);

Cons: Weight (however, for me, not so exaggerated); rnAberrazione color, often evident in TA; rnVelocità autofocus;

Opinion: Borrowed from my uncle and never returned :-) rnPer those who do not often use this focal length and do not want to spend big money for the new AF-S, a good choice is used migliore.rnSostanzialmente is a lens very "constant" in performance and does not disappoint, apart from the speed performance of autofocus, in which the quality of the machine body affects molto.Nel my specific case the improvement from d90 to D300S was really enorme.rnGià at RT the definition is good, But by f5 .6 to f11 not disappoint prestazioni.rnUn dear old Nikkor

Pros: Optical quality and construction. Excellent value for money

Cons: Weight and handling

Opinion: Being already out of production for a while, you can find it used at a great price. Sharpness, color rendition and the blurred buoni.rnNitidezza are very high already at full aperture, excellent at f/5.6 and f / 8. With the multiplier 1.4 and 1.7 the quality is still very good if at least one aperture stop. In these cases, however, you have to deal with some chromatic aberration evident in areas of high contrasto.rnL 'autofocus is decent but it is not lightning. The tripod attachment is very solid but on the other hand the objective is heavy and a bit uncomfortable especially when using freehand because of an external form irregular and not very ergonomic.
