Lens Testing - Nikon 80-200F2.8 push-pull - page 10
Non-scientific, seat-of-the-pants shots with a Nikon 80-200F2.8 AF-D push-pull lens. When I got my D700 I took out several lenses one at a time to see how they performed on FX. I used the 80-200F2.8 many times with film, but less with my DX cameras. I feel the focal length is not wide enough on DX, but it works well on FX.
