charlie_garcia Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Its a 100-400mm Vivitar AF lens on ebay for $160. If it helps i currently have an N65 and I take action sports pictures. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=801737300 Thanks and any feedback would be great.

jimstrutz Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 The real value this lens has is discovered by selling it on Ebay. It's not really good for anything else. The aperture is too slow and the image quality is too poor. Also autofocusing will be slow and unreliable. To get a half-decent image you will have to stop down to f/11 or so, mount it on a tripod, take your time, and still settle for a half decent image. The bad news is, there are no cheap ways to get good images with a long lens. You either have to pay lots of money for good glass or accept poor quality.
