A cheaper and a really good alternative to the newer Nikon 70-200mm lenses - Using with D7000
I was a little skeptical about using this lens with the D7000. I have used it for around two days now (around 300 photos). I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. The focus is sufficiently fast and the images are tack sharp when shot at a higher shutter speeds. Amazing bokeh.

A Review for the Nikon Nikkor AF 80-200MM F2.8 D ED Lens
I just recently purchased this lens and got the slides back today. A very impressive telephoto zoom with very sharp contrasty results. I was actually trying to win a AFS-80-200MM F2.8 on Ebay recently but lost out. Decided to buy this one new. I don't regret doing so.
Pros:
- ED glass
- Sharpness
Cons:
- A bit heavy but not bad

Professional Quality Shots
I purchased this lens a few months ago for my D7000. It is everything that I had hoped for and more. The lens is crisp at any aperature and focal length. The focus speed on the D7000 is fast and tracks well on moving objects.
Pros:
- Quality
Cons:
- Will not autofocus on D3000
- D3100
- D5000 and D5100

I bought this lens to use at the rink for Hockey and Figure Skating. The results are really impressive. Hand holding this baby is a bit hit and miss, you really need a monopod. The auto focus is fast and the images are sharp. If you want to get professional results this lens is a must have.

This is the s***! I've had a Canon EF 80-200/2.8L and a Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 HSM previous to this lens and it kicks the other lenses butts. Hard. It's sharp, it's fast and it's built like a Abrams M1 tank. What more could you ask for The A/M-ring is made of plastic and is easy to break.
Pros:
- Sharp
- fast
- color rendering (is that the correct expression
Cons:
- Plastic A/M-ring

Awesome
This is a great lens. Sure it is heavy, but that is why I bought a monopod. Great results! I take it with me when I go on walks along the river. I use it at weddings to get "the shot" without being seen. I have used it my son's basketball games and will use it during baseball this summer.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Solid and reliable work horse that delivers the goods!
The 80-200 f2.8D is a great solid reliable and high performance lens. It is optically comparable to the first series 70-200 f2.8 VR, so the decision comes down to your need for image stabilization and instant manual focus overide.

Pros: Not as heavy as expected, Good Bokeh Cons: Need To Use A Monopod Other thoughts: Good price for an excellent craftsmanship

My Second One
I love this lens. I have been used an older Nikkor 80-200 F2.8 (push-pull) since many years ago. Nikon continued bringing top quality products. This lens is a good companion to my D7000.
