Hi,

Has anyone had experience of this lens on a D700? How does it perform?

Just inquisitive. ;)

not used on the D700 but I have on my D300

its a great lens IMO for the money and you wont be disappointed
 
Depends what you are used to.

If you only ever used, say the Sigma 70-300 DG, you'll love it.

If you've used a Nikkor 300mm f/4 of any flavour, you'll won't be so keen.

Its a decent enough lens, but for Nikon shooters you've got to consider a 300mm f/4 first.

Interesting...I have used a Nikon 300mm f/4 AF (not the AF-S) which was lovely.
 
having tried the three lenses you mention I would put them in the following order

1. 300mm AF-S
2. Sigma 100-300 F4
3. Nikon 300mm AF

the af-s F4 is stunning but as you had only mentioned the 100-300 thats all I commented on

I'm no Nikkor lens badge freak, but in this instance, the Nikon 300's are SOOO much better than the 100-300 - if you really need a very good 300mm get saving.

I'd personally put the 300mm AF-D ahead of the Sigma 100-300 as well. Its wide open sharpness where you see the difference.

I had been thinking of shifting mine on but after waiting so long i cant bear to part with it in fear of not being able to find another one
