Nikon's entry into past universal 80-200mm f/2.8 lenses started back in 1978 with a manual focus, push-pull lens checking in at 4 lbs. Ten years later the autofocus model arrived sporting ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass; '92 marked the "D" package.
Nikon has produced more than half a dozen high-speed, tele zooms since the early 1980s. The first with Vibration Reduction- the full-frame 70–200mm f/2.8 VR of 2003-was an instant classic, lauded for its high-speed autofocus, VR, and attractive styling.

Pronounced focus 'breathing', i.e; widening of the angle of view on focusing closer, Reduced maximum magnification compared to previous version, Somewhat susceptible to flare with direct light sources in or close to the frame, Poorly-designed lens hood - too shallow, and with curved ends, Slightly...
I was very pleased to give this lens as a gift to my friend, who is a student; he is earning 2 Certificates in Photography before he enters a degree program in Photography at an international university.
Quality is outstanding
Cost may be prohibitive for many university students
