You will find answers to such questions at

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/slemn.html, and

www.nikonlinks.com/ruether/posts. Short of

it: I prefer the original 75-300 AF, in a

good sample (or the early 70-210 f4 AF,

which is faster and better than the 4-5.6

version...) to the 70-210 f4-5.6, or to

either of the newer 70-300mm Nikkors...
