The addiction begins
Last night, I stopped by Dominion Camera to see what doo-dads and gee-gaws they had. Mostly, I was looking for a new bag—maybe something from Lowepro—but also to see what used lenses, and other things they had. Unfortunately, the only bag they had on the shelf that I really thought fit what I was looking for didn’t; it wouldn’t hold my D50 + two lenses. Oh well!
As I was talking to the “man behind the counter,” I asked about a telephoto I was interested in (a 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Zoom-Nikkor), and after talking, it turned out they had it in a kit only. Fortunately, the kit included a really nice Nikon bag, a 2-year extension to my D50’s warrantee, and cost the same as buying the lens-alone from B&H Photo in New York. Deal!

Nice. I’m using it as a partner to the 18-70 f/3.5-4.5 that is the “normal” lens on the camera. I do have some old Nikkor primals, but they’re all manual focus, so I don’t think I’m likely to use them.

That’s a pretty nice lens for the price. The best way to get nice results is to find a situation that fits the lens (sufficient light, high shutter speeds) rather than try to use it as an all-purpose versatile lens.
Here are a few pictures I like with that lens:
