A good way to save $$$ on expensive Ink
It works fine, despite the expiration date having passed.

No reason to not buy it if you want a cost effective full-frame camera.
9 von 9 finden das hilfreich With a D800 on order, back in May I decided to purchase a used D700, figuring that at the very least I would have a full-frame camera that would provide a frame rate of 8 fps with my MB-D10 battery grip. The reviews were all great, and even though it is only 12 mp, that is one of the reasons the image quality is excellent. ISO 3200 looks better on a D700 than ISO 400 does on a D200.
After 4 months of waiting for the Mythical D800, I decided against buying it and will be cancelling my order. Numerous reports of focusing issues, rear LCD glass coming loose, poor build quality and battery recall, together with an increasingly indifferent customer service policy at Nikon Corporate, I decided that a used (and proven) D800 will be cheaper and better than rolling the dice on a new one.
I am perfectly happy with my decision so far. The image quality, handling, focusing speed and accuracy, low light/high ISO performance, size and weight, and frame rate with battery grip all make it a better choice for me - for the short term, and possibly until the D800s or the D900 is released.
The seller had kept it in extremely nice condition - he provided the original box with all the insides, down to the twist ties for the cables. The EXIF showed that it had 15,000 clicks on the shutter, but in all honesty you'd be hard pressed to distinguish this camera from a new one.
There is nothing to dislike about the camera. And it would be pretty hard to get a full frame camera with all of the features of the D700 for under $2000 - unless you look at another used one. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a full-frame and trying to avoid the expense of a D3s, which arguably would be a slightly better choice if money is no object. By opting for the D700, I was able to get a couple of lenses as well, which has helped save me the cost of a divorce lawyer.

good lens with reservations
9 von 9 finden das hilfreich Great optics from a time-proven formula. Crisp even wide open, low CA and great edge to edge brightness on an APS format SLR. However, the construction, while basically pro quality, has some serious engineering issues, mostly to do with the lens tripod mount, the M/A focus ring and the focusing mechanism in general. The M/A ring has a problem that affects nearly all lenses, whereby the ring cracks and ultimately separates. The result is that you cannot switch modes from manual to automatic. Unfortunately I did not learn of this until it was too late, and now the one I just bought has this problem. Many have written in forums of their experience with this. Also, the focusing mechanism is prone to binding at either extreme. Anything less than totally delicate handling can cause this, or just wear. This is a heavy lens, and my theory is that when mounted on a tripod, there is a tremendous amount of stress in the area where the tripod mount connects to the camera. Perhaps these stresses cause minor deformations in the lens body that cause binding in the focusing mechanism. Nikon has been making this lens for 10 years, and apparently there is no change in the M/A ring - it has not been re-engineered or recalled, and the body appears to be essentially the same as it was when it was first released. Too bad, this lens has the potential to be a 5+ lens, but with these serious deficiencies, it only merits a 2 in my opinion. Reviewers always complain about third party lenses not being up to the quality standards of Nikon. Well, this case, the competition has this one beat, at least as far as engineering and construction is concerned. It would be hard for me to recommend this lens over a brand new Sigma 70-200 2.8 for slightly more money, and none of the issues that this lens has.
While you can use Nikon's excellent teleconverters with this lens, you give up automatic focus. If you want to preserve AF and not lose quality, you can always use Tamron's SPAF Pro or Kenko's Pro 300 DG (these are the same, just different packaging) - you will not be disappointed.
Regardless, with careful handling this lens is very capable of allowing the photographer to capture some truly amazing, professional quality images.
