re: a lot of lenses for sale.
To me, it looks like any run-of-the-mill third party lens from ca 1977-1990 before AF came into fashion.
There is a reason for the moderate price for lenses like this:
There are many to go around and few people want them.
Functionally it is equal to the Ai and Ai-s lenses from Nikon.
Q: do you want to own and use a lens like this?
I do not, I own more and better original Nikon lenses of the era.
If one were given a lens like this, it might be nice to play aroud with on a rainy day, but little more.
On current-day camera's (like your D300, but not the budget ones) Nikon includes an Ai-coupling ring and tab on the camera body.
The so called rabbit ears (you describe as the silver bit) is designed for coupling with pre-1977 cameras.
