Pretty fine line here...
As an ex Canon shooter from the late 80's-Mid 90's, I had occasion to use the larger glass made around that time period on my F1's. Granted... this is film shooting.. and we're now in digital.
I too have an older 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF (not AI) for use on my D3s bodies and I just won''t let it go. There's not enough cash to make me do it. For the piddly sum of $1,900 I have in it, it does all I need and more. The older glass... is that, older glass. But it's still tack sharp without a tele, built like a tank, and works... A tad slow on the focus (comparably) but, what snappin images.
If you have concerns about the contrast and sharpness.. You're in the right boat now. Stay there.
