(zooms are SPF, macros are still available)
I'm going to upgrade my lens collection so I'm selling some of what I have so I can buy more. I don't want to fill this post with a lot of photos but I can send high res. photos from any lens to anyone interested. Prices include paypal fees and shipping. No trades, no low-ball offers, seller reserves all rights, etc.
Nikkor 55-300mm auto focus zoom f4.5-5.6 G ED
This is a modern lens, made for DX sensor cameras. It is a G lens with built-in focus motor and vibration reduction. It will work on any Nikon DX sensor camera.
I bought this lens from KEH in excellent condition and it is still in the same or nearly the same condition. This is a light and compact lens, and the VR works very well. It is easy to get good shots with it without a tripod. Being small and light it is easy to carry and when you need more telephoto reach it works well. I have found this one to be very sharp up to 200mm or so and it is not quite as sharp at 300mm but still will provide good results as long as you aren't looking for critical bird photos. Comes with lens hood, original Nikon drawstring bag and UV filter.

Nikkor 75-300mm auto focus zoom f4.5-5.6
I've had this one for a long time, from my film days. It is a screw-drive lens made for full frame cameras. This one gives good results and works well on my DSLR. The auto focus works well but it does not have vibration reduction. I think it is approximately the same sharpness as the 55-300. The best review I've found for this lens is by Ken Rockwell.

Phoenix 100mm f3.5 auto focus macro
I bought this lens for my first DSLR, mainly to use for watch photography. It is a very inexpensive way to get into macro, and provides very good results. You can find lots of reviews of this lens- that is light and plastic but has good optics. This lens is screw-drive auto focus, works on full frame cameras, and focuses to 1:2 with its normal focus. It includes a matched diopter to go on the front of the lens to allow it to focus to 1:1. I've tested this lens against the Nikon micro below and I can't say that there is a difference in results.

Nikkor 105mm f4 AI manual focus micro
I bought this as an upgrade to the Phoenix macro. It is a much better made lens, but it is hard to tell if there is any difference in its optics and the Phoenix.
This lens is in very good shape, the glass is clean, and the focus is smooth. This lens is AI so it will work on modern cameras with no problems. (Don't try this with non-AI lenses.) This lens will focus to 1:2. I've used it with cheap extension tubes to get closer but that makes it totally manual. This lens has a built-in hood. Includes Hoya UV filter.
