Description
Description
The Nikon AI Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 is a classic, constant-aperture telephoto zoom lens engineered for Nikon 35mm F-mount SLR cameras. Renowned historically as one of Nikon's finest early telephoto zoom designs, it features a single push-pull collar control for simultaneous focus and zoom operation. Built with an all-metal barrel, rectangular rear optical baffle mask, silver chrome accent ring, meter coupling prong ("rabbit ears"), and standard 52mm front filter thread. Native AI indexing allows light metering across vintage film bodies and modern Nikon DSLRs equipped with an AI coupling lever. Serial number 814035. Complete with front snap-on lens cap and rear push-on mount cap.
Condition
Overall Condition: Fair / Spares or Repair
Cosmetically the lens barrel is in good vintage condition with typical surface scuffs and edge wear on the black painted finish. The push-pull zoom and focus ring mechanics move smoothly along the barrel, aperture ring clicks into all detents down to f/32, and the aperture blades are clean and responsive. However, optical inspection under direct light reveals internal fungus clusters and dust accumulation across multiple internal glass elements. Serial number 814035. Offered strictly as-is for spares, repair, parts, or thorough optical overhaul.

Collector's Notes
The 80-200mm f/4.5 Zoom-Nikkor (specifically the later 12-element revised optical design with the rectangular rear baffle) was hailed in its era for prime-like sharpness across its zoom range. While this example suffers from significant internal fungal growth and optical haze, its intact mechanical barrel and aperture mechanism make it a useful repair unit or donor for parts.
