The quality of the optics of these lenses, which date back to the late 80s, is superb, and the bodies are lightweight too. They work equally well on a DX body as an FX one, though obviously the length is true on an FX whereas they represent a 100mm to 300mm equivalent on a DX body. There are two features that you lose compared to a modern lens - the autofocus (AF) and the vibration reduction (VR). This may be a deal breaker for some people, especially relative novices, but if your photography involves any kind of setting up of the images - portraiture, sport, some wildlife - then you probably don't actually use those features. At 300mm you'd probably want to use a tripod anyway, in which case you would turn off the VR on a modern lens! At 100mm, you'd be using a fast enough combination of ISO and shutter speed to be beyond the point where it makes any difference too. Autofocus is great, of course, but really only comes into its own when you are shooting on the fly. So, you can buy one of these for £60 instead of the £400 or £600 you'd pay for their equivalents among the modern DX and FX lenses. That's a big difference for two features that you quite possibly don't need.Read full review

Amazing value for your money! Just be aware that this an old lens design with dated coatings. This means that you need to increase the contrast settings 25-50%. Also take notice that without VR you need higher shutter speeds (320 is my recommended minimum). Again, amazing value for money. Using it a D750.

Good lens but I returned it , because I have even better: Nikkor AF-D 80-200mm f/2.8 Gutes Objektiv aber ich habe ihn zurückgesendet. Ich habe noch besseres: Nikkor AF-D 80-200mm f/2.8
Great lens I prefer it to my AFS 80-200 Nikkor for handling and over my AFS 70-200 Mk2 for focus breathing...
