| I'll start by stating that I am an amateur Nikon-biased photographer, but I will not hesitate to look over my shoulder to see what the other brands are doing. One thing I've always been told was that when it came to lens, Nikon was always top notch. I now understand. When this Nikkor 80-200 f2.8 ($899) ($75/week rental) barrel spent it's first days in my hands, all my worries about this being too heavy were gone. Yes it does weigh 3-4lbs, but have you seen the pictures this thing can take?! It doesnt do too well at low-light, and if you are still shooting in auto mode then dont bother.. this lens requires a learned owner. My best pix have been taken with this, producing wonderful brokeh and sharp/contrasty results. |
