Excellent Lens

Recently purchased this lens Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED AF Zoom. I must say this is a worthy investment. Im an avid photographer and if you appreciate beautiful pictures and would like to take them yourself occasionally then I recommend this lens. It is one sharp and fast lens at f/2.8 in low light condition and action photography. Im really happy to finally have the right equipment and experience producing good shots. A tank of a lens but I don't mind at all.

Just great!

I've got it on my D700 and it's a fantastic lens for this price. So don't hesitate - buy it!

I have feelings for this lens, is that wrong?

When you open your box the lens case is pretty cool, but then I just put it up on a shelf where I keep all my other Nikon boxes in case I need to sell it some day. It's true what everyone says, it feels really good hefting a hunk of metal, I was grinning ear to ear. I guess because the lens is so solid that I immediately noticed the cheap looking plastic ring for switching between manual and auto focus, it's really out of place. How do you say oops in Japanese? Now that lame-beuracratic-cost-cutting-blunder aside, it's pretty dang sexy.

I was really nervous for my first shot since I've seen a few posts about "soft" focus on some rogue lenses out there. Mine was crisp and sharp and beautiful. Yes beautiful. I have since shot graduation, families, fashion, babies and bikinis with this lens and each time I view the RAW files at 100% in post I'm so satisfied with the sharpness and pleasing quality this lens sees with.

Now, as to the weight, don't think for a minute that you can hand hold this in low light and get good results. Yeah yeah, if you crank your ISO into sandstorm mode maybe you can get the shot but it's not going to look pro. Or if you are an arteeest and want a little blur motion, then fine. But listen, I'm a fit dude with some meaty hooks and I was still a bit shaky after an hour of holding it up to my eye. You've got to tripod this baby. It's worth it though.

My conclusion is that if you have a nice tripod and aren't going to be rough with the plastic ring or threads, you should buy it, it has many applications. Heck I'm even using it for landscapes now. I give it 4 stars overall because it does hunt a little more than I like in low light and of course the stupid plastic ring. Optics I give it 5 stars. And my own category, pleasing intangible image quality, 5 stars. So if I could have my money back right now and walk away from it, I would not... I would buy it again and have no desire to drop an additional $700 bucks for the new VR version. It's my new fav. Hope this helps you make your decision!

I bought this lens in 1997

I still have the receipt for it and back then I paid $1150.00, so this is a super deal. Love the lens. It takes fantastic photos. I really enjoy using it. Have not had one bit of trouble with it and have used it going on 13 years. Mine was made in Japan. Don't know about now-a-days. Went from film to digital camera a couple of years ago and still works like a charm. Yeh it is a little heavy, but how can they pack all that goodness in there without the weight?

GREAT LENS IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CAMERA!!!

I purchased this lens with the intentions of photographing high school sports games this coming fall. Immediately upon receipt I opened it and put it on my D5000...instantly realizing that it does not support the auto focus!! I am very disappointed because it does not say ANYWHERE on the page that it does not support the auto focus. It talks about exposures and metering, but not auto focus...BEWARE!!!
