As sharp as my 24-70/2.8G but only a little more than half the size, the Nikkor 35-70/2.8D is Nikon\'s best zoom bargain. This copy is in Ex++ condition (see photos below), comes with the HB-1 hood and is going for only $399, shipping, etc., included.
Super sharp out to 220-230mm then a little softer to 300mm (unless stepped down to F/8), the Nikkor 75-300/4.5-5.6 AF is in Ex++ condition, comes with the metal HN-24 hood, and is a bargain at $175, shipping, etc. included.
Asking price for both together is only $549 which includes shipping and insurance by USPS Priority Mail and PayPal fees. I\'m a retired US Army officer and work for the US government in Italy and have access to the US Postal Service. Shipping to the US east coast usually take 4-5 days, to the west coast 7-8 days. I will only ship to CONUS. Please read my service evaluations.
35-70/2.8D
75-300/4.5-5.6 AF (As you can see the lens does has a few tiny and superficial specks on the front element where the coating has come off but they do not affect image quality)
