I am impressed with your continued work on the testing and repair of the 'unknown' and nearly forgotten lenses !

I bought one of these AF 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lenses from KEH.com. I may as well admit that I learned of this lens from Ken Rockwell. As soon as I confirmed the purchase I thought why didn't I check Nærfoto Bjørn Rørslett for a review? I immediately tried to cancel the order but KEH.com offered no way to cancel the order only minutes after placing it. When the AF 75-300/4.5-5.6 lens arrived I made a number of test shots and found the lens' performance to be unusable at 200-300mm. The build quality in my estimation is poor. In 48 hours I had it packed and ready to ship back to KEH.com. I think Bjørn Rørslett's mini review may have been too kind.
Ken Rockwell's site is a good place to gain familiarity with lenses for Nikon cameras but (Stern Warning) do not make a purchase based on Ken's reviews as sometimes he's talking trash! :o :o :o
