 as some of you know i use a d7000 plus 300mm f4 and t.c's for my wildlife photography very happy with this combo .but i have just acquired a D200 as well for a back up and the wife to use on occasions ,at the moment i have bolted my 18-200vr to it but is obviously lacking in range for wildlife .
there are several options out there ,i.e nikon/sigma/tamron 70-300 lenses lots around at pensioners prices s/h but the one that i keep returning to and which just slides into my pension budget is the old nikkor 75-300 metal and glass push-pull lens .
so the questions are will it work o.k on a D200
i have heard its slow to focus but extremely sharp is slow focus that bad on a digital camera .
sensible answers please funds are limited so going more expensive would be nice but a pipe dream at the moment .would you go for this or one of the g type lenses nikon/sigma/tamron
