actually, not really that tempted. other than the VR (which is not ALL that useful for the subjects i take) and the reduced weight, i don't see that much advantage IMHO.

however, a new toy is always nice to have, hence the temptation.

Sorry I know this is completely off topic, but what does he want for the 300 and the 85? Any chance you have his contact?

Jed,
The items are at Kingsley Photographic (Tel: 020 7387 6500, ask for Tim) and according to Tim, the prices are:

85mm f/2.8 PC Micro-Nikkor - £825.00
300mm f/2.8D AFS - £2595.00

AFAIK, these have not been officially logged in their system yet.

Hi Szenny,

Thanks for the information. Owww... those prices are steep man. I bought my original mint 300 for £2000 flat, and was offered a new AF-S II for £2500. Was hoping for something closer to 2k... ah well.

Time to go to KWANON!
