Picked up the pre Ai 80-200/4.5 for 800 yen (5 euros) on Yahoo Auctions in Japan. It's in reasonably good condition but the zoom action is a little loose.
Here are some (fairly boring) samples. The light was a bit harsh as well.

Thanks everyone. It seems like a decent performer. It's really heavy though.
For anyone living in Japan, I bought the lens from Kitamura Camera's Yahoo Auction page. Kitamura Camera is a national chain of camera stores that sell new and used gear. They have a dedicated auction store on Yahoo auctions. The other good thing about using Kitamura Camera is that when you win the auction, you can ask for the lens to be sent to your nearest Kitamura Camera store. This delivery method is free of charge. Then you pay for the lens when in the store after you've inspected it. My nearest store is 5 minutes on foot. The staff know my face very well

That shot was taken the day after the others. I had just come home from work and the light was an extraordinary yellow. Actually the light deserved a better subject than a peg

may be but it doesn't matter, still a great picture and indeed incredible light 
the D3000 looks also a great little cam, at least in good hands!...

The D3000 is a nice camera. I wish the iso performance at 400 and 800 was a little better though. I've had it for almost 2 years so I've got used to it though. I think knowing your camera and knowing how it's going to behave in various situations is important. I've thought about upgrading to the D90 or more recently to the D5100 but I've resisted. Perhaps I'll hang on for a while until I can afford a full frame. I'd love to use my Ais lenses as intended. |

Your samples show the capabilities of this lens which is underrated. Mine has a loose zoom mechanismn too and i tried to fix this with an additional tape at the inner side.

Nice! I always wished they had retained the appearance of the non-AI version when they went to AI. A great lens for so little!
