QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 22 2011, 09:38 AM) Afaik people mention the 1st & 2nd version the push pull version. Well, no matter, just a difference in calling those lenses anyways. interesting.The Nikon AFD 80200 f/2.8 two touch version is still in production till now. Okay I'm just telling this from what other photographers told me personally as I've never used one before, the AFS 80200 has a problematic SWM motor or something like that and it would fail totally or have focusing problems. Repairing the SWM motor is really expensive. Much less durable than the AFD version for sure. My friends told me either get the AFD 80200 two touch version or the newer 70200VR1 for DX and VR2 for FX if I have the money. another camp says dont get the 80-200 AFD two touch cos the manual focus ring eventually gives way or crack. |

QUOTE(KTCY @ Feb 22 2011, 10:30 AM) I have many friends using that 80-200 two touch. None have the crack or gives way issue ya, but it happens. And theirs, 90% third or forth hand items or perhaps they stick it on AF all the time. u can even check shashinki description when they sell used 80-200 AFD. A / M ring works perfectly, however there is a crack on the ring near the screw location. It does not affect operation though. Turning A / M ring still perform smoothly. AF/MF switch on the lens works perfectly. No broken part. |
