A new lense

[DsrtVW]

I was trying to aquire a Nikon 300mm AF-S lens online shops showing stock as backorder status. Check out my local camera shop and found a older used Nikon 300mm AF ED real nice shape and built like a tank. Drawback AF is a little noisier and cannot use Nikon TC 14E. But after playing with it on my D 300 and that it was a third of the price of a new AF-S lense. I bought it.
Very sharp and great color. The local park birds were very cooperative

Wish i could have gotten a bit closer and on the other side of this handsome guy. But he went up the bank into the shade.
