update on this,on monday i bit the bullet after a week of pulling my hair out reading test reports ,viewing pictures from various lenses (thank god for flickers search engine) and camera combo's ,and decided that for quality for pounds spent it really had to be the old 75-300 .i had been watching one on e/bay for a week and asked the owner if she would accept a offer which she did of £100 .
the lens arrived this morning and i have given it a very good shake down on the d200 and the d7000 ,any doubts about slow focus were very quickly dispelled i am finding it extremely quick to lock on ,it seems sharp at most apetures to which is a bonus ,and has completely changed my point of view on the older nikon lenses .
having run into problems in the past with old canon lenses being total dogs this is so refreshing to use ,i,m now starting to look at the 80-200 ed f2.8's with fresh eyes to .hmmmmmmm
