[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 671012, member: 7240"] My latest lens acquisition... I think I like the results. My idea was to get a smaller and lighter tele zoom, because it is not always convenient to travel with a 70-200VR, and primes are not optimal while on the road. I got a [URL="http://photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/ai80200n.jpg"]Zoom-Nikkor AI 80-200mm f/4.5 N[/URL] and it is lighter than a 180/2.8 prime. I did briefly consider the 70-200/4 but that is both heavier and longer, and I am allergic to plastic construction, so that was a no go. The AI 80-200/4.5 and AI/AIS 80-200/4 were the de facto pro photojournalist tele lens back in the day, and I don't wonder why. Highly recommended.
