Is the AF Nikkor 300 mm 1:4 any good for me?

At the moment I have a Nikon D7000 and a 70-300 AF G. I primarily do amateur wildlife photography. I feel my 70-300 very soft and lacking. Right now I have the chance to buy a 300 mm AF, would it be a good upgrade?

It's what fits my budget right now. In the future I would like to buy a 200-500 or similar.

Added the pictures of the lens

thank you

Any help on how to remove these spots?

I’ve been slowly trying to get back into photography with my Sony A7iii, currently rocking a Tamron 28-75 VXD G2 on it. It’s been a good year or so since I’ve actually used it but I noticed these tiny stains on my pictures that I’ve taken after exporting them. I’ve tried cleaning the lens multiple times with my cleaning kit but to no luck. So I’m honestly not sure where to continue, i’ll post some pictures, the stains are pretty easy to spot. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

EOS Rebel T3 I want to start using more

okay I own a EOS Rebel T3 I've had for 15 years I got in high school and loved taking pictures at the time. I honestly haven't picked it up in 8 years and now have a baby I want to be able to take pictures of.

*think casual pumpkin patch, christmas morning, birthdays so a combination of inside/outside & individual close ups of him as well as group shots.

I have the 18-55mm lens it came with but I'm not thrilled with it? Would I enjoy the camera more if I upgraded to another lense? Thinking Canon EF 50mm f1.8STM or Sigma 17-60mm f2.8. Willing to spend up to $500 ish.

Also if you have any learning recommendations in terms of lighting/settings/editing please send them my way!!

What lens should I buy

So I have a nikon d3100 and i recently bought a 55 200mm lens for it with autofocus. I mainly do planespotting at airports but I now like also spotting high altitude ones from my backyard. I was thinking of buying a 600mm one. Doesn't really matter if its auto focus manual works too for me, And I have a tripod. I would like it preferably under 200 euros and max 300. Do you have any recommendations?

Stubborn stains

One day, the lenses fogged up, and after wiping them with a microfiber cloth, they ended up looking like this.

They aren't scratches; it's a smudge left by the cloth when I wiped them.
