Hi Everyone.

 

This is my first post on this forum after having been a Nikon user most of my life.

 

I am seriously looking at buying a used Nikkor 300mm F2.8 AFS.

 

Before buying one I have contacted Nikon uk & Fixation to find out if spares are available for all the versions but have received no replies.

 

Has anyone got any knowledge of this as I don't want to invest in this lens until I know it will be serviceable for the foreseeable future.

 

I look forward to any information.

 

Many thanks

 

Matthew

This is an almost impossible question to answer.  Suppose Nikon has parts today, but your lens doesn't need repair for another five years.  Who's to say they'll have parts five years from now.  That holds true for any piece of equipment.  If you are not buying the latest and greatest, I think you'll just have to take your chances and make the purchase if that's the lense you really want.
