I'm afraid nothing from any brand exists that fits the bill. I used a few of the 70-300mm zooms when I first got involved in photography, but unless you have a really good tripod (or a lens with VR or IS) you will get soft pictures for your efforts.
My advice is to save up and look at something in the pro range, maybe a used 70-200mm f/2.8 ED will be a start. Just remember that with a D70s you are getting an effective 105-300mm field of view (1.5x the focal length). You won't find it for under UKP300 though. Keep a look out for lenses on eBay.
I was afraid you'd say that. :( Effective 300mm would probably be acceptable, although it's some time since I used my old 200mm with 2x teleconverter (35mm SLR) and cannot remember if I really used the last 100mm or not. I'll see how I feel about the 18-70mm when I get it anyway, and maybe I'll be able to cope with that and a 2x converter for now. I'll do some research on 2X converters another time. :)
Cheers, Geoff. .
