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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: Fair \/ Spares or Repair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetically 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon AI Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f\/4.5 Telephoto Zoom Lens (Serial No. 814035)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Snap-On Lens Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Push-On Mount Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile 80-200mm telephoto zoom range with constant f\/4.5 maximum aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-pull single-touch control collar for simultaneous focal length and focus control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Automatic Indexing (AI) mount compatible with vintage and digital Nikon SLR bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid all-metal mechanical construction with standard 52mm front filter thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated rectangular rear baffle mask for internal flare reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCollector's Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeywords\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikon AI 80-200mm f4.5, Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f4.5, Vintage Nikon Telephoto Zoom, Push Pull Nikkor Lens, Nikon F Mount Zoom, Spares Repair Nikkor Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEstimated Valuation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"valuation-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFair \/ Heavy Fungus \u0026amp; Haze \/ As-Is Repair Candidate (As Pictured):\u003c\/strong\u003e £8 – £15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVery Good \/ Clean Optical Glass Working Unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e £25 – £40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent \/ Mint Pristine Glass Unit with Original Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e £45 – £65+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55537827414358,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/5213\/1414\/files\/IMGP2425_10cb7071-37e7-4fe5-9f30-1c36ebc39c59.jpg?v=1790755092","url":"https:\/\/colinscameras.co.uk\/products\/nikon-80-200mm","provider":"Colins Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
