Nikon AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D is a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens featuring a constant maximum aperture. This two-ring version is known for its robust all-metal construction and reliable mechanical performance. It provides excellent sharpness and pleasing bokeh, making it suitable for portraiture, sports, and general purpose telephoto photography on Nikon DSLRs with internal focus motors. When purchasing this model used, the M/A focus ring switch should be checked for cracks, as this is a known weak point in the plastic collar. SDS verifies the smoothness of the zoom and focus rings, ensuring there is no grit or excessive resistance. The tripod collar should tighten securely, and the internal glass is inspected for the presence of dust or haze which can occur in older push-pull or early two-ring designs.
