Well due to a number of enquiries I've picked two shots to post from my first weekend with my Nikon 80-200, 2.8 AF-D. There will definitely be more to come, but I've had a lot on so this two are some easy shots to post with almost no PP.

Some Charcoal. 112mm, f11, 1/60, ISO 800 ( :oops:

)

And a Cute Boat. 200mm, 1/4000, ISO 200, f2.8(coz I can)

Aaah, so Craig, you did make the purchase. Welcome to the 80-200 club. Brilliant bit of glass. That boat looks pretty sharp. You will love that lens.

The boat looks great!
Any chance of cloning or cropping out the distracting white blob in the top left hand side?

Nice stuff Craig and congrats on your new toys

I look forward to seeing more shots from the 80-200 as well as some using your other new acquisition.

Thanks eveyone

I was literally packing my things to leave so was in a real rush to put something on the forum. I agree I should crop out the white blob (its another boat) but should I crop the image any further...

I kind of like to see the boat and a fair bit of open space. Look at the charcoal shot on my monitor at home.. yikes looks a bit dreadful.. I might have to rethink that one

More shots will be coming soon, but I've been sent to bed early, Doctors orders.

Craig, congrats on joining the 80-200 club.

I'm sure you'll immediately notice the difference compared to the 70-300.

I have, it's much heavier

But the image quality.. already has markably improved and I'm sure when I get used to it will be a drastic improvement..

You'll love the versatility of the 80-200. It's even sharp at 2.8
