AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Thank you for your viewing.

Introduced in 1988, the Nikon AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED was Nikon's very first constant f/2.8 autofocus zoom, and it quickly became a trusted workhorse for professional photographers entering the autofocus era. Its ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements were engineered to control chromatic aberration, delivering crisp, high-contrast images throughout the zoom range. The one-touch push-pull zoom design, inherited from Nikon's manual-focus lenses, offers fast and intuitive handling in the field.


[Image 1 & 2] Transmission Tower: Outstanding Sharpness across the Zoom Range (f/8)

Shot from the exact same position at 80mm and 200mm (f/8). The lens renders intricate structural details—from fine metal framing to high-tension lines—with crisp, distortion-free sharpness. This demonstrates its exceptional edge-to-edge resolution and optical consistency throughout the focal range.

[Image 3] Apartment Building at Sunset: Rich Color Reproduction & Dynamic Contrast

Captured during golden hour as the sunset reflects off the windows. The lens beautifully reproduces the warm, golden hues and subtle tonal gradients without sacrificing shadow details. It clearly showcases the rich color rendering and high contrast this glass delivers.

[Image 4] Purple Rose: Razor-Thin Focal Plane & Creamy Bokeh (f/2.8)

Shot wide open at f/2.8. The focused flower stands out with remarkable clarity, revealing delicate petal textures and crisp stamen details. Meanwhile, the background melts away into a buttery-smooth, unobtrusive blur, creating a striking 3D pop that separates the subject effortlessly.
