Zoom-Nikkor 80-200 mm f/4

[AIS]

4 The successor to the famous f/4.5 80-200 offered 1/3 stop higher speed and focused closer, to 1.2 m vs. 1.8 m for the old version. It achieved all this with an additional lens element and a significant increase in bulk to make it less easy to apply for hand-held shooting. The external appearance of its forerunner was upheld and it works very smoothly with auxiliary lenses. Due to the increase in filter size from 52 to 62 mm, a 6T lens is needed instead of the former 4T unit. By adding a close-up lens, near life-size magnification can be obtained.
