Nikon F 80-200mm lens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikon F 80-200mm lens refers to several generations of single-lens reflex telephoto zoom lenses for made by Japanese camera manufacturer Nikon.
Nikon has manufactured nine different zoom lenses with a focal-length range of 80 to 200 mm range for its F-mount 35mm film cameras and latterly its digital SLR lineup. They were all released during the film camera era, but are compatible with Nikon's subsequent digital SLRs. All lenses have a push-pull design except where noted:
- Zoom-NIKKOR Auto 80-200mm f/4.5 (1969)
- AI Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5 N (1977)
- AI-S Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4 (1981)
- AI-S Zoom-NIKKOR*ED 80-200mm f/2.8 (1982)
- AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8 ED (1988, pictured)
- AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D ED (1992)
- AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D ED N (1997, two-ring) [1]
- AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6D (1995, two-ring)
- AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED (1998, two-ring) [2]
All models are out of production, including the latest "AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED".[2] Instead, Nikon has released a range of new lenses in a similar focal length, such as the AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G lens in 2003.[3] The new lenses include Internal focusing (IF), vibration reduction (VR), and a fully-electronic control system which does without the traditional aperture control ring (G).
