Nikon 300mm f/2

{"overview":"The Nikon 300mm f\/2 ED IF Ai-S is a manual-focus super-telephoto prime built for the Nikon F mount, featuring extra-low dispersion glass and internal focusing. Because that figure is a saleroom hammer result rather than a dealer asking price, today's retail value of a clean example will typically sit higher once commission, warranty and refurbishment are factored in. Condition, completeness of the trunk case and tripod collar, and clean ED glass are what this lens sells for at the top of its band.","buying_guide":"Inspect the large front element and internal ED group carefully for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as repolishing or replacing rare-earth glass on this lens is uneconomic. Check that the aperture blades are dry and snappy with no oil migration, that the long focus helicoid turns smoothly without stiffness or grease bleed, and that the rear elements show no signs of separation or coating scratches.
