deanm57 Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Nikon 300 2.8 ED IF Question About 2 years ago I was shooting little league baseball and purchased a 300 2.8. Now I am wanting to sell the lens. Only one problem, I am not sure exactly which generation I have or its value. Optically the lens is very sharp. I have the case, filter holder and strap. There is a some brassing on the tripod collar screw, name plate and strap connector. I am uploading a few images of the lens and would appreciate any and all help. Thanks, Randy Mar 03, 2013 at 03:12 AM

davidnholtjr Online • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Nikon 300 2.8 ED IF Question KEH has a BGN grade AF-I version for $1,669.00 and this one you have is the latest AF-D version before the AF-I. So I'd say you could sell it for around $1000 or so. Mar 03, 2013 at 03:03 PM

It has the "screwdriver" type autofocus so it won't work with the NIkon TCs, and won't AF on the low end bodies. Mar 03, 2013 at 03:24 PM

deanm57 Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Nikon 300 2.8 ED IF Question Thanks so much to all of you that replied both, for the fast response and information. I think your right it is the AF-D. I also love the site that show all the lenses with the year and serial number range. Thanks again, Randy Mar 03, 2013 at 03:26 PM

I thought all AF lenses with an aperture ring where D lenses. Mar 03, 2013 at 03:55 PM

I thought all AF lenses with an aperture ring where D lenses. No. "D" was a feature added later to some AF lenses. There are D and non-D versions of e.g. the 50mm and 180mm. All AF-S lenses are D, perhaps that's what you're thinking of? Mar 03, 2013 at 03:59 PM

deanm57 Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Nikon 300 2.8 ED IF Question OK, I am really confused now. So it is just an 300 2.8 ED IF AF? Correct. I guess the name really doesn't matter except I wanted to list it correctly when I sell it. Mar 03, 2013 at 05:01 PM

deanm57 Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Nikon 300 2.8 ED IF Question Duh! Good Point! Thanks again to everyone! Mar 03, 2013 at 05:12 PM
