Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 D

its range. BTW, the excellent sample tried is FS for just over $500 in mint condition with box, pictured here -- www.donferrario.com/ruether/fs-zooms.htm. That looks like the original version with no tripod collar? |

That looks like the original version with no tripod collar? Yes to both posters - but optically I think they are identical. In any case, the one pictured is astonishingly good. Even if it were not a zoom, at any FL in its range it would be considered a first-rate lens (and it does essentially equal the non-zoom Nikkors in its range, even at f2.8, no small thing!). --David Ruether |

I remember that lens got very positive reviews at the time, and I'm sure it's optically superb. The main gripes were the lack of a tripod collar, and very slow AF, both fixed in later versions. If I had the cash I'd be somewhat interested, I guess. |

Anyone using this lens? Do you love it? The reviews by Ken Rockwell are fantastic, although the site seems to say the same thing about all Nikon lenses, so I am not sure how much to read into that. I have the 17-55 f/2.8 already, and I'm concerned a little about the gap in focal length (55-80). Its going on a Nikon D2Hs. Comments appreciated. Thanks! Dean I have the 80-200, and I love it. It has excellent clarity and is a pleasure to shoot with. However, it's a big, heavy lens. --David Salmansohn-- Change "nospam" to my first name and .org to .com to reply |
