Description

The lens sits in a clear plastic bag inside the CL-43A case, and the paperwork and strap sit on top. The 80-200/2.8 D feels nice. Everything is metal, not crummy plastic like most of everything else from Nikon today.

With those caveats, the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D (new) is sharp. Of course it's sharp: it was Nikon's most important professional lens at its introduction, and remains in Nikon's catalog as one of Nikon's most popular professional zooms to this day. This 80-200mm f/2.8 AF was Nikon's top pro zoom from 1988-1992. Optically this lens is unsurpassed and the same optical design is still sold today. was Nikon's best telephoto zoom made from 1999-2004.This and the 17-35 2.8D AF-S were really the onlyBe careful to get this current model with two zoom rings; the "new" version. The push-pull models are much older and have much slower autofocus (see All Nikon f/2.8 tele zooms compared). It does not rotate through 360;º it has one carefully-placed stop. It's easy to position your camera to any of the four cardinal settings. This isn't a big deal, but you will feel this as you shoot on the faster pro cameras like the F5 and D3. Not for: AF is slow, so for sports I'd get the newest model instead. This lens will not autofocus with the cheapest D40, D40x and D60; get the 55-200mm VR (or 70-200mm f/2.8 VR) instead for those cameras.

You should certainly be getting good in focus sharp images at 150mm focal and most definitely at 135mm at f2.8 and close (less than 10 feet) distances. If your not spend some time AF tuning too. Newer models of Nikon f/2.8 tele zooms can't do this: Nikon curved their diaphragm blades, so they would have made this image without the stars, which would be much plainer images. I did compare it against the 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S, and it's a zillion times faster than this original AF lens. The zoom mechanism is entirely internal: nothing moves or pumps in and out as you zoom. Therefore, no air, dust or gasses get pumped in and out of the lens (or your camera) as you zoom. I avoided shooting at F2.8 on the long end. Overall contrast was clearly lower as well as sharpness. Not particularly in the corners. My 80-200 seemed pretty consistent corner to corner. The lens changed character by F3.5, so I just generally tried to shoot it at F3.5 or F4 when not going for more depth of field. At F4 is was fine, and I'd expect it to still be fine on a D800 or D7100's pixel density.You grab the 2-1/2" (65mm) wide rubber ring and have at it. I can wrap three of my big American fingers around it; littler guys probably can fit their whole hand around it. I've tested the Sigma 70-200mm HSM Macro II at a local store and liked it a lot. It focused fast and close up, and had a solid feel to it. However I decided on the Nikon because it was much more rugged ("built like a tank"), could also focus close up, and felt it was a better value since they both cost nearly the same. I'm sure you're well aware that Nikon lenses hold their value over time as well. Nikon offered its first production manual focus 80-200mm f/2.8 ED AI-s, the world's fastest zoom for a 35mm camera. It takes a huge 95mm filter, and weighs over 4 pounds (1.9kg)! It takes the HN-25 screw-in spun anodized aluminum hood.
