Yes
I have been offered the 4 following lenses:

Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 AF D. Push Pull Single Ring No Tri Pod Collar. Mint Condition. About 10 years old.
Nikon 35 - 70mm F2.8 AF D. Boxed with paperwork. Unused and as new about 10 years old.
Nikon 35mm F2. AF D. Boxed with paperwork. Unused and as new about 3 years old.
Nikon 50mm F1.4. AFD D. Unboxed. Used a few times but in mint condition. About 3 years old.

Was wondering if the above are worth buying? I'm new to photography and am about to learn but before doing so I want to equip myself with some decent gear. Not sure what aspect of photography I am going to like but will try different kinds to begin with namely portraits, landscape, motor bikes, cars, birds, aviation, motor sport. I already have Nikon 18 - 200 VR, 70 - 300 VR and 18 - 70 DX. Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
buy them, try them and sell those you don't want (to me)

Yep, definitely worth having - that's all pretty good kit. But depends on prices I guess.

What's he/she asking?
 
all are deffo worth having absolute class
 
I'd only add that those which are at 10 years-old; it may be worth while asking how much they'd cost to service :shrug:. The gears may need a bit of attention?

Please don't think I am trying to scare you off buying them. Everyone is telling you they're good to buy, and they sure are. My point is just a concern with the age of the older two's gears.

Thanks very much for your replies, all. Very kind.

He's asking £400 for the 80-200mm 2.8 AF D Push Pull Single Ring No Tri Pod Collar. This may be quite old. He says about 10 years (maybe more, can't remember) but he says it's mint with leather case.

£400 combined price for the 35 - 70mm F2.8 AF D (10 yrs) and 35mm F2 AF D (3 yrs). Both these are boxed and he says unused and as new. Or £325 and £150 respectively.

£150 for the 50mm F1.4 AF D. Unboxed. About 3 yrs old. Used a few times but mint.

What do you think? Thanks again.
 
Reasonable prices although the 80-200mm is towards the top-end of what it goes for 2nd hand.
 
80-200 too expensive, £300 would be my offer
35-70 £250
35mm don't know
50mm f/1.4, if mint good price

my offer for the lot for a quick sale would be around £750
