I picked up a few lenses for my Nikon on Craigslist at a great price. I’m not sure if I will keep them forever, but it’s nice to know that I can sell them for more than I bought them for. The one I used for this photo was a Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Telephoto Zoom Lens. The lens is great for outdoor sports photography. However, it doesn’t fit in my bag (with the lens hood on anyway), and 70mm is too telephoto to make this lens at all versatile. The 300mm zoom isn’t that much of a difference from the telephoto end of my 18-200mm so I don’t see myself using this lens much. Still, it delivers nice sharpness and bokeh for scenes like the above. By the way, I took this photo at Garfield Park in Ashland.
