This is a sharp lens! The Nikon ED AF-S NIKKOR 300mm F4 D lens with the accompanying TC 1.4 is a wonderful combination for nature photography. It is a fabulous piece of glass. Fast autofocus and pairs really nice with the modern lineup of F-mount lenses. The body and glass of the lens is in great shape. The focus ring has gotten a workout over the years and shows some wear, but works great. The lens comes with a very nice Nikon CL-M2 bag. Please let me know if you have any questions.
