I too have the F100-300 and it works fairly well for me. I mostly use
it for action and it's surprisingly sharp and contrasty between
100-200mm fully open but after 200mm it takes a dive. Of course,
stopping it down makes it better. Out performs my friend's Sigma
70-300mm 4-5.6 DL. I paid $65 at KEH.com about a year ago in EX
condition. They have one in the same condition with caps for $69. The
FAs is more but I don't know if it's any different.

awful when wide open. Stopped down two-three stops, it makes excellent
photographs. I bought it for something under $85 as a KEH.com EXC ...
seemed worth the money to me, given that I don't use this long a lens
very often.

It's $99.95 right now at B&H. Thoughts on this lens, folks, both in
absolute
terms and considering the price?
