The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on March 06, 2022 Pros: More than excellent quality, very handy and light. Cons: The focus sometimes goes jerky. Opinion: A lens that is at ridiculous prices but has a truly exceptional quality . Very light and handy does not make you regret at all the older brother 2.8 which has a weight comparable to that of a battleship. I also own the brightest one, but I almost always use this one at f 4 fixed. The yield is almost equal . Excellent sharpness and colors. |
 | sent on May 04, 2021 Pros: blurry, sharpening, lampshed Cons: old generation engine,size. Opinion: Here we are, well after so much this lens is also enthused to be part of the kit!!!! From the first shots I can only say: finally!!!! lens with excellent yield, we leave out dimensions, shapes, weight, balance to be mounted, etc.. and let's get down to business. What images do you give? In my humble opinion really beautiful! For now I have only used it on DX with a glorious D90, I still have to do the tests on FX nikon D810.ma I can already say that pairing with the D90 from excellent results. Blurred exactly where you want it, unique details already at f4.5 / f5 , construction made in japan impeccable. The engine (at least of my model) is not noisy and the AF is fast, also tried on moving and tine subjects and very well hooked the subject. used on DX is a great canvas on FX is definitely more exploitable. Minimum good focus distance. I still have to test it with little light but during the day even without a lampshed I got excellent contrasted photos and defined It I consider it a high level optics. I found mine on the bay at less than 100 cafes and it's in showcase condition (I'm picky about this..). recommended if the dimenaioni do not interest and you want a level optics with little expense |
  | sent on December 14, 2019 Pros: Price, yield, blur, 3D, colors, minimum focus distance Cons: Don't have it Opinion: I wanted a canvas zoom for a long time and was oriented on the Tamron 70-300 but without too much conviction. Reading the opinions of others who preferred this 70-210 f4, I decided to give him a chance. After some hunting time, this specimen happened on the bay with conditions incredulously close to those of the new, despite the years. For those who have no experience with canvases, it should first be learned to use, after which it offers respectable performance in every respect. Colors, blurry and especially 3D are its points of excellence, but also sharpness and precision are remarkable, albeit with a rather dense sensor like that of the D7200. It was the 3D that has already been detected by others that has been the aspect that has inspired me to try it out. Also worth bearing in mind is the ability to bring the subject closer than other comparable focal lenses. The autofocus does not seem as slow as others say and from 2.5-3 meters to infinity, or from the minimum focus distance at 2.5-3 meters I would define it rather fast, also depending on the internal engine of the machine. It is clear already at full open and despite this allows to close the diaphragm a lot, even at f16 and more, when the light conditions allow it. Above all, I did not notice the scrambling for the hooking of the fire described by others. It seems to me indeed a harpoon, which when he took it does not give up anymore. At least on the D7200. The zoom dial is very fluid and more generally the experience of use is positive because of the metal body and the weight lower than that of more modern lenses. Reading that it absolutely needs the lampshade, I took a similar one to the original but it did not seem to make all this difference. Then I used it as a support for an extension that I made with black bristol cardboard, 15in in length, the maximum possible not to cause vignette on APS-C even at the minimum focal. With its use the music has changed totally and I was able to appreciate performances that I previously would not have dreamed of. If it is already valid to the natural, although suffering from special light conditions, so equipped becomes an optic more than recommendable, generously exceeding the limits that would be considered proportionate to its current selling price. Personally, I find it hard to blame a lens like this for the absence of the stabiliser, because at the time of its release it was about things beyond that. A little difficult to find, especially in impeccable conditions, perhaps also because the few who have one do not willingly separate. If you want a zoom not too expensive I think it is impossible to have better. Very suitable for portraits from afar, especially for the naturalness of the non-professional subject, which is not intimidated by the proximity of the photographer and the lens. |
 | sent on December 02, 2019 Pros: Yield, blurry, lighter and more compact than older brother 2.8. Price. Cons: Primitive AF, if it loses the hook ingether of the fire begins to scramble back and forth. Opinion: Economic optics but spectacular yield. Gorgeous colors, blurred properly, I used it with the D700 for portraits, a wonder. AF discreet don't expect a missile :-) I recommend it for those who want a canvas handyman and not: its compactness is an advantage over the 2.8 monsters that weigh and cost much more... For the sporting genre look elsewhere. |
 | sent on September 22, 2019 Pros: Build quality and cost of the used, does its job honestly Cons: Chromatic aberration to F4 sometimes very present and difficult to remove Opinion: Bought used many many months ago , I use it on a D90 and after months spent trying it and doing some tests I realized that : Af not so slow , indeed ... does not reach the speed of the Afs but it is not so bad, and cmq is more accurate than other AF-s Nikon i have. Doing some tests I realized that it is more defined than the 16-85 dx that I have and also to the 85 af-s 1.8 for the same diaphragm . I have not tried it compared to the 80-200 2.8 AF that we have in the house . Cost , performance in my opinion unparalleled ... It doesn't have VR ... sure it's 1986, but it's an F4 ... just speed up the :) |
 | sent on March 09, 2019 Pros: Lightness, Practita. Great Af for a vintagr Cons: Almost no one for the price used as vintage (maybe more sharpness) Opinion: Lens from the Practita everyone other than other times: read it for a zoom up to 200 F4 constant, blurred more than good, does not lengthen zooming, and contrariamenre to what many say L AF and rather fast to be ' prehistoric ' (I have new ones no quicker). The The AF ring is very smooth and that of the focal soft. It should be used with the lens hood HN-24 (in the case of FF that I own) to avoid excessive flares and foaks. The colors are not as hot as the regret 35-70 2.8 D which I had but good. The resolve is more than good. In summary, for those who need a 70-200 or similar is an excellent starting point without spending several hundred euros and at the same time avoid variable-aperture zoomons that Jon are worth. Around the 150 euros you will grab a nice toy that will give you satisfaction and excellent practice |
 | sent on February 21, 2019 Pros: Sturdiness, colour rendering, construction and value for money Cons: TA marked chromatic aberration (especially at 210mm), slowness AF, absence VR, rotating front lens (attention with CPL) Opinion: Bought used for €150 in excellent condition. Robustness and construction from battlefield. Excellent color rendition, not too vintage. Very light zoom ring, it almost seems to be broken, but in reality it is an advantage because zooming in becomes very fast. The autofocus is slow in big changes of focus, while if the distances are short it becomes acceptable, it still remains a little noisy. The front lens rotates and becomes problematic to use circular polarizers. At ƒ/4 A 210mm the chromatic aberration becomes evident, but easily solvable in PP. The bokeh that it can give is still good and soft. It's not stabilized, but for the price and age it has, it's not a problem. |
 | sent on January 29, 2019 Pros: Optical quality versus price. Good construction. Cons: Old-fashioned optics with AF of the dawn. It works on machines with an AF motor mount. Opinion: A lens that goes back to the nights of the times but definitely better than the 70-210 mm 4.5-5.6 AfD. Good sharpness on all focal and better Nikon construction of current productions. Real colors and good contrast, never squealed. Autofocus noisy but in line with its time. It gives good satisfactions if well used once known the limits. Those looking for a low-priced zoom lens but with good optical qualities should evaluate their purchase if they have the "luck" of crossing one in the used ads. The price varies obviously according to the general conditions and does not exceed 150, 00euro. Beware of the ring games. |
 | sent on July 25, 2018 Pros: Robust and reliable, excellent quality Cons: AF a bit noisy, screw hood Opinion: Bought for a few months, I use it for ceremonies and animalist portraits and also some landscape portrait. I have to really say an excellent optics for the age it has. Zoom without excursion and very quick focus (on d300s) immediately engages the subject and follows it in almost every condition. Sure if he loses fire and has to make great trips it is quite slow. Excellent color sealing to TA and to the maximum focal length, together with the lens hood also dramatically improves the edges (even if the lens hood is screw and I find it a little awkward since it can not be placed on the lens and you can not mount filters when installed). It is an F4 so suitable to shoot even in environments not too bright (especially if you have a body that holds well to the ISO) is not stabilized but this can be good for sealing over time, considering that it has 30 years has no yokes and the nuts flow smoothly and p Cut. A vintage lens but still great. |
 | sent on June 15, 2018 Pros: Quality construction. Excellent color rendition Cons: A bit ' the weight but being in metal you can not expect so much lightness. Opinion: Bought used with very few shots for 70 euros, I use it on my D3200 with much satisfaction. While not having stabilization and an AF without motor for my entry level SLR, it's a very good lens, the focus is pretty quick just get us some practice. You can work as macro, street and even portraits. Really a great buy, especially at that price. |
| sent on June 15, 2018 Pros: Vintage, solid construction, weight, performance and price of the used Cons: In my opinion no one, if you are coming photographically from the years ' 80 Opinion: Bought on the net for 145 euros shipped, and tried in the worst conditions, at the theatre, with low lights and almost always at full aperture, provides images that reflect on when the lenses were glass, the colors are real, easy to handle freehand Being well balanced, nothing to say about the rapidity of the focus and noise of the same, for small adjustments do not notice the difference from the AFS, completely soddisfatto....vi hope to find one... |
 | sent on May 01, 2018 Pros: Metal, Glass, Colors, Bokeh, Sharpness to TA, etc... Cons: Slow AF But for age is normal Opinion: 20.03.2019 After Selling it I resumed it a year later, but this time paid €40 including shipping. I Wanted the 80-200 but since it will be part of my second kit with Nikon D200, Nikon af 35-70 f2.8 D, I preferred the lightness. I Love the vintage and this lens will give me film-style photo with the CCD of the D200. Tried on the D3s to TA does not regret optical f 2.8. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I did some testing and I can't complain. Still to try in the work but this month with all the Sundays occupied by Communions and we will see how it behaves with the D700 and D3s. I'M curious to see the results at TA. March 3, 2019 After I sold it, I'm looking for another model for my second kit and will be used on a Nikon D200. |
 | sent on May 29, 2017 Pros: Excellent yield, lightness, materials, constant f / 4. Cons: Dust, lack of stabilization, rotating front lens, screwdriver. Opinion: I was looking for a zoom for my D7000 and at the price of a 55-200 or a 70-300 (no VR) new I preferred to take this 70-210 used (a lot in my case); I'm sorry for nothing, the feeling is extraordinary.rnIt must be borne in mind that this is a zoom lens of the 80s, among the first (if not the first) AF powered by Nikon, I can say I'm just satisfied with the purchase.rnE 'Extremely compact, does not stretch zooming, weight is reasonable and the materials are of a very good level.' 'The AF is particularly slow if it needs to do great excursions but is reasonable for small adjustments, so I'm not advised about sports but it depends on which. It should be said, however, that with my old D7000 and the current D750 is extremely precise and I think it works with all the various AF modes without problems. The front lens rotates in focus, so no polarizers. Consider the age And construction, it can happen that it has a little dust. RnMake stabilization, but here it's up to youLta.rn As previously mentioned by others, it is a lens to have but it is not easily found. I hold it tight. |
 | sent on May 28, 2017 Pros: Construction, constant f4, chromatic rendering, reactive AF (microregulation) Cons: Lack of VR, slow AF when it must pass from one end to the other. Use its hb-24 hood or better yet the hb-23 if you are almost required. Opinion: I was interested in the 70-200 f4, but the price was too high to be able to get it right away so I took this gorgeous 70-210 f4 at a 1/20 st of the cost. It was without haze and the first photo series while being beautiful did not fully satisfy me. I then found the hb 23 (the original would be hb-24 but if used on dx hb-23 i read it better) i gave it a magic color rendering. AF often say it's slow. It's true to part hooking it puts us a lot but then it's great. It works also in afc 3D but from the best in af-s s. Not having a vr requires fast times that goes fine by day but in the evening or you have a nice tripod or a firm hand. RnTo finish satisfying the lens. On this range of focuses I keep it tight and I recommend it to everyone even though I do not think it's easy to find. |
 | sent on February 26, 2017 Pros: Transportable weight, f / 4 with its bokeh, built entirely of metal. Cons: The front lens wheel; while focusing the final part of 'ob lengthens protruding a few centimeters, so in the long run there is a chance that it can get a little' dust, problem cmq negligible (in the end all zoom and ob pump are being aspire zoom and much more ...). Slightly soft. Opinion: A relatively low price, you can take home a ob. commendable. The blur is pleasant, similar to the series D, the autofocus does not seem fast, lack of stabilization cmq is known but for a ob. now is the vintage prassi.Non easy to find used, because usually those who possess if he keeps it tight! |
 | sent on February 16, 2017 Pros: Size, f / 4 constant, sharpness, color rendering, Cut of plans af / 4 Cons: Af cumbersome but precise, the front lens rotates Opinion: Truly staggering when you consider the price at which you buy a canvas "70-200" f / 4. I wanted to replace the Tamron 70-300 VC that I did not like as unfocused and was cumbersome. rnDecido to make the madness and sell a new economic tele-stabilized Ultrasonic af to take this nikon 70-210 .... you say I'm satisfied: increased sharpness, Cut plans af / 4 very nice, compact and with constant travel (what no small feat when compared Tamron pack size of 300 mm). I like a lot the yield of this series AF. Buy rnBest despite the rarity |
 | sent on January 19, 2016 Pros: Building, weight, constant aperture, has no time Cons: Lens hood screw that does not allow to put the cap Opinion: Taken used with luck ... I wonder why they do not do more, trasportabilissimo heavy just right and not too obvious ..., the optical quality and constructive splits cl many plastichini modern, has no age, I use the Nikon D300 and goes to God, the colors are true to life, the depth of the picture is frightening looks in 3D, the detail is also a TA, no distortion or opacity, ultrasonic AF but no hassle, with this lens to have a pro price of a toy lens, I recommend it if you can find. |
 | sent on July 12, 2014 Pros: F / 4 steady ... excellent performance at all focal lengths ... double ring extension and constant Cons: Lens front wheel, racing AF "long" Opinion: Little X + 200 € (with caps and lens hood metal HN-23 or 24) ... tell me what you can find? An f / 4 constant on a 3x zoom ... excellent performance at all focal lengths ... a "tad" soft fuzzy 210mm f4 ... creamy colors ... less pastellosi of his successor to "pump" ... barely + "cold" ... 850gr ... glass and metal ... extension constant throughout the entire zoom lens ... ant. That rotates in focus with 'long' stroke ... uncomfortable with a polarizer screwed. The new VR f4 costs 5 times as much ... meditate ... meditate ... |
