I need this lens

I have thousands of shots with the 300 2.8 lens on a77ii , a99ii and on a7iii and a9 mk1 and seriously the results rarely disappoint and when its has gone wrong its me that is at fault , its been over looked by most but for me I could buy the 400 2.8 but I can not justify it . The plus with the 300 is you can crop like crazy and its tack sharp in most lighting, you can pre set focus points and there is a rear end polarizer filter you can drop in and spin to adjust results, its focus speed is almost as fast as 200-600 e-mount on a7iii and a9 mk1, most of my shots are heavy crops and yes the 300 is nice to have along side the 200-600 fe

Cheers. Yes I've got my eye on a couple. Most are from Japan, which isn't an issue really. There's one in Derby, but I think he's asking a bit too much, even though it is immaculate. There's also a cheap one, but it has fungus. I suspect it's difficult to get cleaned, so not worth it.

just checking Kev I have the sony 300 2.8 ssm mk1 that is the one I use for most of the bird and tiger shots and as shots of tiger above. there are only 2 I can find on ebay and they are both mk2 which is good one in spain and 1 in uk
eBay item number:

May be you are looking at minolta 300 2.8 either apo or hsm version I have the apo as well and I think you will find the minolta 300 apo. That is the real early one difficult to settle on camera although pictures are great, I have the 400 4.5 hsm which is a lot more settled on camera and excellent picture quality Gary

if its minolta high speed it is better the one in Buxton on ebay is over priced in my honest opinion
