Nikon F 80-200mm lens refers to several generations of single-lens reflex telephoto zoom lenses for made by Japanese camera manufacturer Nikon.
Overview
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:
f/4.5 MK-I (discontinued)
f/4.5 MK-II (discontinued)
f/4.0 AI-S (discontinued)
f/2.8 ED AI-S (discontinued)
f/2.8D ED AF (pictured, discontinued)
f/2.8D ED AF II (discontinued)
f/2.8D ED AF III (two-ring, discontinued)
f/4.5-5.6D AF (two-ring, discontinued)
f/2.8D IF-ED AF-S (two-ring, discontinued)
All models are out of production, including the latest "AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED". 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. 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).
