I have had two strokes this past year and it it too difficult to carry or handhold this wonderful lens any longer because it is too heavy for me. It is simply one of the best Nikon lenses made and sells fort $5,496 new. I will accept an offer of $4,000 and pay for insured 1-day shipping. I will accept PayPal or personal check (cleared).

David Hope you feel better and stabilize. Consider the Nikon
Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR Lens
Only 1 1/2 lbs when you sell the 300.

I havre a 28-300 and a 100-400. I may also sell my 200-500. I don't like selling lenses but I can't carry the weight.

I have more glass and cameras than brains. I don't need the money but I physically cannot handle the weight of these lenses.

Please remove from selling. There isn't enough interest in this great lens. Thanks.

Without knowing how heavy the lens is have you tried using a mobile especially those that come with the three on the bottom

I don't have trouble with my 100-400 or my 70-200's. I like to hand hold and I have a hard time with using a tripod (even lighter ones) and a camera mostly due to weight and balance. I'm subject to falling.

Amazon have a monopod that has three small feet at the bottom which are retractable that forms an extremely light weight tripod probably two pounds in weight
