I got a used Nikon 300mm f/4D AF-S IF-ED, for $600. Though the previously referred Canon FD 300mm L f4 looks like a better bang for buck! I was originally aiming for a used Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM however was a little out of my price range at the time ($850-$950 used, $1100 new) and you can't control the aperture manually. Otherwise I hear that lens is impressive sharp for the price, with possibility of cropping to get further reach.

I attached a couple uncropped, miniminal processed images with the Nikon 300mm F/4D (Lens Correction via Profile and Chromatic Aberration removal in Lightroom)
