The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon AF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 D Pros: Lightweight, fast focus despite its age, more than good sharpness, easy to carry around. Cons: Plasticky body, no VR, plastic bayonet, autofocus does not work with old SLRs (D40, D80) and with the new mirrorless Nikon +FTZ, not very bright Opinion: It was my intention to put it on sale considering the lack of use, also because I own Nikon zooms and other brands with similar characteristics. Purchased back in 1995 combined with an analog reflex body (the excellent F90X). It has been in the drawer for a long time and recently dusted off to compare it with more current optics. Well... It surprised me positively. Still valid from the point of view of sharpness (good up to the focal length 150 mm) and the colors it churns out, even the focus amazed me, it was still fast and without hesitation. It has no optical distortion but the sharpness drops significantly at the longest focal length. Of course, it cannot be compared to more recent optics or to the emblazoned and more performing ones, but I think for the cost I see in the used (we are talking about costs even lower than 50 euros) I decided to keep it. With APSC machines it becomes a 120-300. I recommend the purchase to those who are looking for a decent telephoto zoom without huge pretensions. sent on February 05, 2024 |

 | Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Pros: tropicalization, low weight, affordable cost, excellent maneuverability, support arca swiss Cons: light hood Opinion: Purchased after viewing various and in-depth reviews and opinions on the net, as well as on JuzaPhoto. I had tried at the time the first G1 version lent to me by a friend but it had not thrilled me especially at the maximum focal length and maximum aperture (6.3). This new G2 version, mounted on Nikon Z5 with FTZ amazed me immediately. Excellent yield and sharpness on all focal lengths even at 600 mm. although with a slight loss of sharpness, but negligible compared to the first version. Excellent stabilization with pleasant shots even with times of 1/60, fast MAF. Also tested on my old (but always valid) D90 where the 600 becomes for the crop factor 900mm. Here too excellent results even if the MAF has repeatedly struggled to hook the subject and the use of rapid times is a must. Also purchased the TAP-in Console Tamron to optimize the focus even if I did not need it. For a passionate amateur photographer always sensitive to containing the costs that this passion absorbs greedily is an excellent lens that does not disappoint absolutely, difficult to find zoom of these focal lengths at such low prices.
