FOREWORD

The Zoom-Nikkor ED 80 ~ 200mm f/2.8 is the world's fastest zoom lens. Its large

maximum aperture presents bright viewfinder images for easy focusing and makes this

lens ideal for sports or indoor events where fast shutter speeds are required. To increase

its convenience, this lens was designed with quick, one-ring focusing and zooming; sim-

ply turn the ring to focus and push or pull it to zoom.

This lens has an optical construction of 15 elements in 11 groups and a 2.5x zoom

range. It uses Nikon "Extra-low Dispersion" (ED) glass to produce sharp images with

high contrast from the shortest to the longest focal length and ensure that aberrations

are well corrected. In addition, Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) is applied to all air-to-

glass surfaces of the lens elements to minimize ghost images and flare and produce nat-

urally rendered colors. With suitably equipped Nikon cameras, this lens offers "auto-

matic maximum aperture indexing" (AI). The meter coupling ridge and automatic dia-

phragm function together to permit full aperture exposure measurement. For non-AI

type Nikon cameras, the lens is also fitted with a meter coupling shoe to permit the

same operation.

MOUNTING THE LENS A

Position the lens in the camera's bayonet mount, lining up the aperture index 2 on the

lens with the lens mounting index on the camera. Twist the camera body clockwise

until it clicks into place.

To remove, depress the lens release button on the camera and twist the camera body

counterclockwise.

Note: When mounting the lens on a camera with a meter coupling lever (AI type),

make sure that the camera's meter coupling lever is correctly positioned; when mount-

ing on a camera without this lever (non-AI type), "manual" maximum aperture index-

ing is required. In both cases, refer to the camera's instruction manual.

FOCUSING/ZOOMING B

t

• B

2

• B

3

First, loosen the locking screw ® on the focusing/zooming ring ®.

The Zoom-Nikkor ED 80 ~ 200mm f/2.8 focuses from infinity to 10 feet (2.5m). To

focus,

turn the ring until the image on the focusing screen appears sharp and crisp.

For maximum focusing accuracy, focus carefully with the focusing/zooming ring at the

200mm setting. The shallow depth-of-field and large image scale at this focal length

will allow you to focus the lens extremely accurately. There is no need to refocus with

each change in focal length.

To zoom in or out, look through the viewfinder and slide the ring back and forth until

the desired composition is framed on the focusing screen. When the ring is pushed for-

ward for shorter focal lengths, a five-position scale is uncovered on the lens barrel to

show which focal length the lens is set for. To preset the lens for a specific focal length,

align the edge of the ring with the top edge of the digits.

Finally, retighten the locking screw to hold the setting.

RECOMMENDED FOCUSING SCREENS

Various interchangeable focusing screens are available for F3- and F2-series cameras to

suit any type of lens or picture-taking situation. Those which are recommended for use

with your lens are listed below. For screens used with Nikon cameras other than F3-

and F2-series cameras (e.g., Nikon FA, FE2, FM2 and FE), refer to the column for F3-

series cameras. For the K2, B2 and E2 focusing screens, refer to the columns on the K,

B and E screens, respectively. For details, also refer to the specific focusing screen's

instruction sheet.

Acceptable focusing

The split-image rangefinder, microprism or cross-hair area is dim. Focus on the sur-

rounding matte area.

0=Acceptable focusing

Slight vignetting (or moire phenomenon, in case of the microprism) affects the

screen image. The image on the film, however, shows no trace of this.

A =

The in-focus image in the central spot may prove to be slightly out of focus on

film. Focus on the surrounding matte area.

l!=Exposure measurement not possible; lens/screen combination permits only focus-

ing operation.

()= Indicates degree of exposure compensation.

Blank means not usable.

DEPTH-OF-FIELD SCALE

A group of colored lines, curving out toward the front of the lens, are engraved on the

lens barrel. To find the depth of field at a particular focal length and aperture, first

compose and focus the lens on the subject. Then check the numbers on the distance

scale opposite the colored lines to find the depth of field at that aperture. The colors

of the pairs of lines correspond to different lens apertures. The continuous curved lines

of the depth-of-field scale give the reading at any focal length. You can also observe the

depth-of-field through the viewfinder by pressing the depth-of-field preview button on

the camera.

INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY

In infrared photography, the plane of sharpest focus is slightly more distant than the

one produced by visible light. As a rule of thumb, you can compensate for shift in

depth-of-

field index lines on the lens barrel.

After sharply focusing the subject through the viewfinder, check the focused distance

and turn the focusing ring to the left until the prefocused distance figure is aligned

with the infrared compensation line. Then attach the filter to the lens and take the

picture.

NOTES ON USE OF TRIPOD MOUNTING COLLAR

With this lens mounted on a tripod via its tripod mounting collar, you may experience

some problems when shifting from horizontal- to vertical-format shooting or vice versa

in the following situations. In this case, do not force to turn the lens; otherwise, you

may damage the equipment.

1.

In motor-drive shooting with a remote cord attached to the motor drive's remote

terminal or a cord attached to the external power terminal.

2.

When using an F3-series camera with the AF Finder DX-1 attached.

3.

When using an F3- or F2-series camera with an Action Finder attached.

Correction of chromatic aberration in camera lenses has been

limited, for the most part, to the use of techniques which bring

two wavelengths of light—normally blue and red—to a common

focus.

Although known as "achromatic," lenses employing these

designs exhibit a certain amount of undesirable residual disper-

sion (called the "secondary spectrum") which limits image

contrast and sharpness, particularly at full aperture. Telephoto

lenses are most prone to the ill effects of chromatic aberration,

since secondary spectrum increases with focal length.

The Nikkor ED series consists of telephoto and super-telephoto

lenses fitted with elements made of a Nippon Kogaku-developed

special optical glass called "Extra-low Dispersion" (ED) glass.

Although the optical characteristics of this new glass are similar

to those of calcium fluorite crystal, ED glass possesses a more

constant refractive index over a wide range of temperatures and

will, therefore, cause less of

a

focus shift. Also, ED glass is much

harder and more resistant to scratches, enabling its use for front

and rear lens elements to obtain optimum correction of chromat-

ic aberration over the widest possible wavelength range.

Some lenses within the ED series have been so fully corrected

that image sharpness extends uniformly to the infrared region;

for these lenses, corrective refocusing for infrared exposures is

unnecessary. The remaining lenses, such as this Zoom-Nikkor

ED 80 ~ 200mm f/2.8, have been built exceptionally compact

due to the use of ED glass elements. For these lenses, however,

corrective refocusing for infrared photography is necessary.

Regardless of which type, ED series lenses offer exceptional

sharpness and full contrast for the most precise photography

under the widest conditions.

LENS CARE

• Although you should always keep the lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning must be

avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to remove

grease or fingerprints from the lens surfaces.

If you use ether in cleaning the lens, a smudge sometimes appears on the surface of

a

multi-coated lens. If this happens, wipe it again with a cotton cloth moistened with

alcohol.

• To protect the lens surface from dirt or damage, the use of an L37C filter is recom-

mended at all times. The lens hood also helps to protect the lens.

• Keep the lens cap in place whenever the lens is not in use.

• Attach both the front and rear caps when the lens is stored separately.

• To ensure proper fit of the lens when stored in the leather lens case, set the len's

focusing ring to the infinity (°°) setting.
