Bruce, All versions of the Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8 have severe light fall-off. At worst it is about 1.7 stops but it never falls below 0.7 stops. It's otherwise a fine lens, but such high figures for light fall-off were a surprise to me. > There are reasons why I have the 180/2.8 (good wide open and much > smaller and lighter). Now that is a very nice lens in all versions. It has the nearest to a Pentax "look" of any Nikon fixed focal length medium telephoto. John
