Zoom-Nikkor AI-S 50-300mm f/4.5 ED

[Sar NOP]

I'd been looking for this legendary old timer zoom for a while, but couldn't find a good copy with a reasonable price.
Two weeks ago, I finally managed to pick up a collectable copy !

The focal range of this zoom-lens is for me ideal for travelling with one single lens and for nature and wildlife photography.
All my MF Nikon lenses are superb on digital sensor, especially on my D2X. This 50-300mm AI-S is just another great lens to work with my DSLR.
So far, I mainly use it with my D7000 and the results are simply fantastic for an 30 years old zoom !

Here are some of my first test shots :
