Lens Testing - Nikon 80-200F2.8 push-pull - page 11
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.

Converted from NEF to JPG with CaptureNX2. For more information, view the EXIF data. Images are not resized.
