Nikon AF 80-200mm f/2.8D lens

This is a stellar lens for an advanced amateur, semi-pro or professional photographer. It's one of those lenses that has a bit of a cult following as many pros prefer it to the 70-200mm which replaced it. Specifications: it has a constant f/2.8 aperture so it's great for freezing subject motion in low light. The extra-low dispersion glass controls the chromatic aberrations that cause purple fringing the autofocus override is great for portrait shoots where you want to place the slither of focus on the subject's eye without re-composing. The all-metal housing makes it a robust tool the professionals have used on challenging assignments across the world. On a DX body the range is equivalent to 120-300mm, perfect for sports, wildlife and fashion photography. This lens has been a favourite of professional photographers for decades and it's still going strong. If you shoot moving subjects then Vibration Reduction won't help you much and with this lens you don't have to pay for something you don't need. It would be a great choice for the emerging wedding photographer as the wide f/2.8 aperture is crucial for stopping motion during dimly lit ceremonies. It's a fantastic portrait lens that gets creamy smooth blurred background Bokeh for stunning bridal shots. This lens is in a 9/10 excellent condition.
