Nikon-Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI Review

09/09/2006
Nowadays you can get for bargain on Ebay or local camera shops.This lens was quite popular from middle of ’60. It was targeted for every day usage for advanced photographers, I guess used by many professionals too because much easier to handle than faster lenses.
