Can Anyone ID this Lens?

[Gozzer]

I would appreciate it if any of you guys could ID this Lens I would be interested in the actual model and approximate age

If it was bigger maybe...looks like a 70-300 of some sort...

Hopefully this image is bigger?

The lens I want to say is an early 2000's lens...like 2002-2005 production...may be older...there were two different verions of this lens...your's and a II...the II had different rubber pattern...look up the lenses on Google...

Seems like you either got a good copy or a bad copy there was not inbetween...


Hope this helps....

Thank you I appreciate the information and the time you have taken

Not a problem...I hope it helps you out...

On another note...what are you looking to use the lens for...what is your price point...and what camera system will it be for....

Maybe I can point you in a right direction...

I got it for £44.00/$60.00 from an auction site and I intend using it with Nikon D70. I am a relative newbie to this having only used a bridge(HS20) up till now

Should be a good lens for the D70...Ha I had one way back when...on my D70 that is now my sister-in-law's....good lens...the nice thing I like it has a metal mount instead of the cheapy plastic one's now...

If your D70 battery gets to one charge mark...the lens will start focusing slow...so keep your battery charged...another thing that helps with D70...use a 30mbs or 40mbs...

The D70 is a great camera...

Good Luck....Tony C.
