Hello Photofonz... i agree with you on all points... i have the old 80-200/2.8 AF-D, it's a 1992 lens that i bought used in 1998.... it is very sharp and worked great on my old FM2 and F90X.... and it still works fine with excellent results on my D2H and D300... here in Italy it goes used for 400 - 600 euros... depending on condition...

one question why iso 400 it seem to be a clearly and a nice day?

There are so many better options for a portrait lens that i use. 105 f2 dc, zeiss planar 85 1.4, 80-200 2.8 and the 180 2.8.

Hi sir! I currently have this lens, the vr II version. But I am also planning of buying a nikon 85mm f1.8 for portraits. Which one do you think is better?

[michaelkazzi]

I currently have a canon 600D & sigma 17-50. Do you think the nikon D600
oil issues have been fixed? I would like to buy one with the nikon 80-200.
I take landscape photos and some portraits. Would I see a image improvement
with full frame. Thanks
