Nikon 80-200mm AFS 2.8 test pics!

[Hacker]

This baby has just arrived and the autofocus is fast, really fast. Can't wait to use it in anger. :D

Here are a couple of test pics, all straight from the camera and just re-sized:

Taken at f/2.8, lovely creamy bokeh

Ace, how much did it set you back?

done any harsh CA tests?

I bought it from the s/h states and it has stood me in at about £570, haven't done any more tests yet, only had it 25 minutes!

[Hoodi]

25 minutes?
That's plenty time for at least 4000 pics. Come on, get a move on!

Nice price :D

Any reason you didnt buy Arkday's from him?

The AF-S versions of the 80-200 are pretty rare, and they arent made any more.

Good stuff. :)

Much as I would have liked it it was beyond my price range at the moment.
