AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 Ai: this is the improved version of the earlier f4.5 Auto; you can zoom and focus with one hand and it is made from a fully metal housing. This lens is very sharp, even wide open, with refined image quality and beautiful bokeh (background blur). The optics are like new, free of fungus, dust, and the diaphragm is perfect. It shows no signs of use and is excellent for its time, offering a versatile range, and is often considered sharper than the later f/4 Ai-S variants. It works well on modern DSLRs and mirrorless cameras via an adapter, with excellent results despite manual focus. This lens is a mint-condition example that shows no zoom creep; it comes in the original packaging.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a reliable, high-quality telephoto zoom and are willing to accept the challenge of manual focus, the Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 is a phenomenal value with performance that often matches or surpasses more modern lenses.
