It's partly multicoated, which Nikon calls Nikon Integrated Coating. Very few people bought their lenses this inexpensively back then. Nikon made about 200,000 of these, which made it relatively popular back then and easy to find used today.

Read down the "AF, AF-D (screw)" column for this lens. See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details on your camera. The D40, D40x and D60 even have in-finder focus confirmation dots to help you. ![]() The only incompatibility is that it will not autofocus with the cheapest D40, D40x and D60, but if you focus manually, everything else works great.

Its sharp, easy to zoom and has swell bokeh. I wouldn't go out of my way looking for one unless you're an outdoor adventurer like Galen Rowell or the sort of backpacker who cuts the handles off toothbrushes to save weight, but if you do use one, it works fine and can create outstanding images. This lens does, and still weighs less than the tiny 55-200mm VR. The only Nikon telephoto zoom to weigh less is the non-VR 55-200mm, but it doesn't cover film or FX. The 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 D AF was Nikon's cheapest, lightest, junkiest plastic AF telephoto zoom ever. This is a curved part of a restaurant The sides aren't in focus.
