The 80-200/2.8 is one of the joys of the Nikon system and is mandatory for any serious user. It is almost as sharp and contrasty as the Nikon prime lenses in the 80-200 range. The constant aperture makes it convenient to use with studio strobes.

Love this lens, sharp @ f/2.8, great bokeh, accurate AF. Great value. Would love the AF-S version which is meant to be better but cannot justify the significant additional investment for just faster AF.
Pros:
- Lovely optics
- build quality
Cons:
- AF's not a rocket ship
- but on a D300 no slouch either! That's all mind

Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF Nikkor review by dugong5pm
this is the "budget" pro-telezoom. one of the best indeed. The first thing that crossed your mind will be the build quality of the lens. The lens is a solid metal, that looks like a real pro lens. The design is so simple and very comfortable to use.
Pros:
- built like a tank
- IQ
- ergonomics
Cons:
- none

Sharp sharp sharp
This is a heavy Len. It's all metal. It is probably the sharpest Nikon lens that I own Zoom or fixed. It is not slow in grabbing the target. Each time that I go out with this lens and come back and review the photos it just blows me away The color the clarity The sharpness is unparalleled

Great value for money
I often recommend this lens to those who are looking for a fast Nikon telephoto zoom. For those who do not wish to spend the money on the 70-200mm Nikon f/2.8 the Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED is a great alternative.

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
