User Manual -AF 80-200 2.8D ED MK II lens

[Bill_C]

Hello Everyone.....
I just bought the Nikon AF 80-200mm f2.8D ED MK II lens and can not find the Nikon user manual in PDF anywhere online?

This is the black "Krinkle coated" housing push pull/Zoom focus model and has the focus limit switch on the front of the lens housing "FULL-" "LIMIT-".

Is it one of the zoom lenses in this list...?

If so, just click on it and it will start the pdf download...

Hope that helps... :smile:

Edit:
Never mind, seems they don't have a manual for the AF version just the AF-S version... :frown:

Maybe it will help but no pdf:

Thanks but I already found those pages.
I am really trying to find out what the silver button on the rear of the 80-200 does.

It switches the lens between manual and auto focus from what I read here...

No user manual but this old thread dating from 2004 discussing the focus limit switch might be of help. Since it is from 2004, it might relate to the same version of the lens that you have.

I have not used my 80-200 2.8D ED very much yet but would like to ask you if you have used yours for action such as sports or birds yet? Do you have any samples with settings including things like manual or Matrix, spot etc.

Hi this lens is always on now, keeps up with birds n flight, motocross action, etc , on a d300 the af-c s pretty good and i fnd it tracks well once you have it locked on target.. Wll post a couple of action shots shortly.

Hi sorry for the hold up , here is a couple with the 80-200 from today..

The two-ring version is excellent for sports as it features a fast focus (for a screw-type lens). The earlier push-pull lenses are optically very similar or identical but don't focus as fast, and are seen as more all-purpose lenses.

If you do use your for sports, be sure to use that limiter switch. It custs focus time pretty substantially.

I registered here to say Thank you sir! I got this beauty a month ago, almost unused!

I too have one, but mine has been sitting in a drawer unused for 18months or so. Think I’ll need to dig it out and put on my D7000 to see if I’ll keep it
