Hello everyone

I have the option of buying the lens below, but I'm struggling to find any info about it. It's obviously a 300mm 2.8 lens, but can anyone shed any light on its age, quality and value? I've not had a chance to test it yet, so any advice would be very welcome.

Cheers

It looks suspiciously like the 300mm from the end of the film era to me. If so, it was regarded as a reasonable lens but not as good as a marque lens. If the seller wants over £800 I'd seriously consider the 120-300mm f2.8 instead. If it's a bargain give it a test drive.
