That lens plays really well on the D300, Wayne. Very sharp, but with a nice rendition of OOF areas.

I sized them down a bit more.
That one thing I have always liked about the Kiron--the way it handles OOF--plus the fact the lens is built as well (maybe better) than many Nikkors of that period.

Those pix are amazingly sharp!!
Very Nice!
Is it possible that Kiron made the Nikon "E" 70-210mm F4.0 Zoom for Nikon?

Bob:
I doubt Kiron made the E series . All the Kiron lenses are overbuilt to the point of being a load to haul around--like they are machined out of steel billets. Had a Vivitar badged Kiron 35-85mm f2.8 that produced super images but I finally sold because it was just too heavy.

I have two Viv badged Kirons, and both are terrific lenses. But they are heavy! I don't mind the weight, however, as I find it easier to hold them steady. Roy
