Fast FX Telephoto Zoom

The Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED is a constant-aperture telephoto zoom for FX-format DSLRs. It covers portrait to long telephoto ranges for sports, wildlife and low-light photojournalism. On DX bodies the angle of view matches a 120-300mm lens. The lens requires a camera body with a built-in autofocus motor to drive its AF system.

F-Mount Build and Controls

Three extra-low dispersion elements and Super Integrated Coating reduce chromatic aberration and flare. An M/A focus mode ring allows instant manual override, while a focus-limiting switch speeds acquisition at distance. The integrated tripod collar balances the lens on a monopod or tripod, and a manual aperture ring lets you set f/2.8 to 22 directly. Front filter threads measure 77mm.

Upgrade Path and Compatibility

This lens replaces slower variable-aperture zooms when you need constant f/2.8 brightness throughout the zoom range. The jump is worth it for shooters who work in dim venues or need subject separation at 200mm. It will not autofocus on D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200 or D5300 bodies, so buyers without an in-body motor should consider AF-S alternatives.

Questions about this item

What Nikon F-mount DSLRs does the AF motor drive autofocus on?

Autofocus works on Nikon DSLRs with a built-in focus motor; it will not autofocus on D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200 or D5300 bodies.

What filter thread and tripod collar does the lens barrel provide?

The barrel has a 77 mm filter thread and an integrated tripod collar for mounting on a tripod or monopod.

How do I switch between autofocus and manual focus, and what setting is often missed?

Use the M/A mode ring to select autofocus with manual override or full manual focus; ensure the camera body focus mode switch is also set to AF or the lens will not autofocus.
