I have the chance to pick up a Nikon 70-300mm VR lense off of craiglist for $350. I already have the 70-200 so do you think it would be beneficial for me to have the 300 too? It has less than 25 clicks on it

    I wouldn't say it's "needed" but if you got money to spend sure.
    70-200 > 70-300 anyday

    i opted against the 300mm. I figured the money would be better spent on some more tattoo work

    If i didn't have my 80-400 sigma with OS i'd pick this up. still tempted to as its a smaller lense and will fit in my bag a lot easier...

    Why not get the teleconverter instead?

    Only reason to buy the 70-300 would be to have a lighter weight telephoto.

    The real problem with a tele converter is that it would be relegated to a daytime lens. The aperture is small enough on these zoom lenses. You might not have enough light for the focusing... or viewing for that matter.
