DESCRIPTION

The broadscale Nikkor Ai lense updating program occurred in 1977 saw this lense being fitted with an Ai coupling but strangely, the meter coupling has not provided during this update (This apply even for the new Zoom-Nikkor 180-600mm f/8.0 ED which seemed like a replacement lense - based on spec sheet but the 200-600mm lense was still sold along with the ED lense) and metering still has to be done via stopped down metering method. This true telephoto zoom lense covering the range from the 200mm telephoto to 600mm super telephoto range. Similar to earlier versions it packs the distinct advantages of telephoto zooming capabilities into relatively compact size and light weight to ensure easy handling and maximum portability. Despite its long maximum focal length, it has an automatic diaphragm mechanism (no meter coupling prong is provided), and a convenient single focusing/zooming ring allows fast, sure focusing and zooming
