My suggestion is to look for a Tamron 300/2.8 or 400/4.0 (adaptall) since you don't need AF. I have a 300/2.8 AF version (same glass as the MF version) that I was extremely lucky to find at a local dealer. Generally they show up on ebay at decent prices. This is a link to a current auction:

Now that I'm in a position to purchase a couple of REALLY nice lenses, I'm not finding any for sale! Looking for something along the lines of a 300/2.8 or 400/4. AF/MF is of second importance to quality and speed. Where should I look? Any suggestions? Tried KEH, Adorama, B+H, a general internet search and the "bay". Best I found was a 500/4.5 giant and a 200/2.5 for $555.00 US from a 95.2% seller! (NOT!) TIA Don
