I have been looking at all of the 80-200s for a while and have some questions.
Is this the older version of the current AF-D 80-200?
If anyone has it how does it function?{Af etc.}

Also is this lense the same one just showing a little more use?

Has anyone had any experience with KEH at all?
Is it a very complicated process compared to ordering something like at B&H?

I guess you could try this in the Nikon forum...aparently no one in sports knows .... but then I shoot with Canon so I can't help you on Nikon lenses. Sorry!

I couldn't see the KEH lens you were looking at, they wasnted me to do all kinds of signups to get to it. How ever there are three versions of the Nikon 80-200 AF f2.8 out there right now that I am familiar with. The old style push/pull, the two touch, and the two touch S lens. They will all work on your Nikon AF body. They all are good sharp lenses. The older push pull my not focus as quickly but still fast enough for most of us. You adjust the focal length by pulling thy focus ring backa nd forth, many people prefere this lense in manuel focus mode. The newer version is a two touch. It has seperate focus and focal length rings on the barrel of the lens. Nikon also made this lens in the S or silent wave (quicker/quieter) version. I have the push/pull and love it. It's on my D2H 90% of the time. One thing about the lenses is that they do take differen tele converters so if you have other nikkor lens you may want ot check this out.
