[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 8886, member: 986"] The 80-200/2.8 is a great lens. Do you realize that there has been 5 different versions? Roughly they are 1) the original one ring, manual focus, tripod mount version; 2) the autofocus, non-D, no tripod mount version; 3) the AF-D, no tripod mount version; 4) the two-ring, AF-D, tripod mount; and 5) the AF-S D, tripod mount version. I have the third version sometimes referred to as the push/pull. To be honest, I don't use it very often. It is heavy and slow focusing. But when I have, the bokeh is amazing. I purchased mine used for $400 a few years ago. At that price for occasional use, I'm okay with it. [/QUOTE]
