Manufacturer description

Universally acclaimed as one of the sharpest lenses ever created for 35mm photography. The 80-200mm Zoom-Nikkor is an enormously versatile lens offering the focal lengths from medium to full 4X telephoto. Once in focus, always in focus - at every focal length. Superbly responsive one-hand zoom/focus control for optimal handling speed and precision. The close focusing ability of this lens - to 1.8m (70.9") from the film plane - further extends its picture-making capabilities. The compact 80-200mm Zoom- Nikkor accepts Nikon 52mm filters. Easy to hold and handle, this lens reaffirms the Nikon commitment to innovation without compromise in optical performance.

From the editor

A new AI version with a revised optical arrangement. Optical performance and image quality is even better. The lens barrel was re-designed with a narrower profile, which lead to a reduction in weight, and a rectangular frame behind the rear element to prevent light spreading into the mirror box.
