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

This is the PDML, so it's not like you're going to get an unbiased opinion. People who
used to shoot Pentax say that Pentax lenses look flat and lack bite. My personal
experience with Pentax/Nikon lenses (24/2.8 (NP), 28/2.8 (NP), 50/1.4 (NP),
50/1.7/1.8, 100/2.8(P), 105/2.5 (N), 200/4 (P)
If anyone wants to know why different lenses have different looks (with more than over
generalized, comments like, over corrected spherical aberations), then read this

The Nikkor is also supposed to have some vignetting issues wide open.
There are reasons why I have the 180/2.8 (good wide open and much
smaller and lighter).
