This is one of my favourite lens that i can afford to get soon. Cost bout RM3.4K.. Hope by this month i can get one of this. Its has been my dream lens since i change my gear from CANON to NIKON. But the 70-200mm f2.8 VR is still the best among this range of lens.. N it is very costly to me. Cost around RM6k for a brand new set..Here r the specification bout this 80-200mm f2.8 lens. Jus a summary from
KenRockwell:-
Name: Nikon calls this the Nikon ED AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 D
Optics: Sixteen elements in eleven groups. Three of them are of ED glass.
Diaphragm: 9-bladed diaphragm with nine conventional straight blades. They make a nice 9-sided polygon at all apertures, unlike the AF-S that simulates a circle at larger apertures.
Filters: Uses standard 77mm filters.
Close Focus: About 5.5 feet, which is pretty good. That's about a foot less close than the
AF-S when I compared the two directly, and about the same as the
180/2.8AF.
Size: 3.4" (87mm) around by 7.4" (187mm) long.
Weight: 2 pounds, 14 oz (46 ounces total or 1,300g)
Case: It comes with a fairly useless case. Just put it away someplace for when you sell the lens.
