**Your classic telephoto zoom for authentic Engadine images**

The Nikon AI Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 is a used vintage classic from the 70s/80s – the most popular telephoto zoom of its time and today a true favorite among retro fans and purists in the Engadine. From sweeping mountain panoramas in Sils to striking portraits or discreet wildlife shots in St. Moritz: This manual push-pull zoom lens with a constant f/4.5 aperture and solid metal construction delivers the typical warm, three-dimensional Nikon bokeh and sharpness that would make many modern zooms envious. In good condition (B) (minor signs of use, optics clean and mechanically sound), it comes with front and rear lens caps, original lens hood, and sky filter – perfect for getting started in classic photography! At Optik Foto Rutz, we know from years of experience with analog treasures: With this 80-200mm f/4.5, you bring back the authentic character of the old Nikon era, and at an unbeatable used price!

**Special Features:**

- **Constant f/4.5 Aperture:** Very bright for a zoom lens of this era – great for low-light portraits or twilight shots in the Engadine without constantly changing the aperture.
- **Push-Pull Design:** A single ring for zoom and focus – intuitive and fast, typical of the golden age of manual zooms.
- **Characterful Optics:** Warm rendering, beautiful bokeh, and high micro-contrast – exactly what many miss in modern lenses.
- **Robust Metal Housing:** Built like a tank, durable and weather-resistant enough for alpine use (no rubber seals, but very solid).
- **Versatile Use:** Perfect for portraits (approx. 120–300mm equivalent on DX), Reportage, nature, and even light wildlife photography – a true all-rounder on FX cameras (e.g., Df, D850) or DX cameras (e.g., D7500). **Used Advantage:** Condition B means light patina, but the lens is clean (no fungus, no scratches), the mechanics are buttery smooth – optically and mechanically inspected by us; shutter actuations are uncountable (lens), warranty expired. **Compatibility:** AI mount – full aperture transmission on all Nikon F-mount cameras (analog & digital), usable on Z-mount with an FTZ adapter (manual). **Tip:** Combine with a 52mm polarizing filter or ND filter for creative long exposures; For more light-gathering power, check out the AI-S 80-200mm f/4 or f/2.8 ED – we're happy to advise you!
