Nikon's classic push-pull 80-200mm f/2.8 — the original 'One Touch' fast telephoto zoom for F-mount.
The Nikon AF Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED One Touch is one of Nikon's earliest AF telephoto zooms, featuring a push-pull zoom mechanism and constant f/2.8 aperture. The 'One Touch' refers to the push-pull operation that handles both zoom and manual focus.
Optically good for its era — sharp in the centre with constant f/2.8 providing consistent exposure. ED glass controls chromatic aberration. The push-pull mechanism is fast to operate but can develop play over time. Body-driven screw AF.
Nikon F mount with 62mm filter thread. Approximately 1260g. Full-frame coverage. No VR stabilisation. Push-pull zoom mechanism. Body-driven AF — requires camera body with AF motor. Minimum focus distance 180cm.
Available used at budget prices. The two-ring AF-S VR version is dramatically better. Push-pull mechanism can ingest dust and develop looseness. Only useful on bodies with built-in AF motor. A piece of Nikon lens history — the constant f/2.8 is the enduring appeal.
