Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hello people!
Well thanks to you know who :wink: a brand new 80-200 arrived at my door this morning. Had the afternoon off work so i went for a bit of a drive to test it out.

Critiques more then welcome
I think it will take me a little while to get used to the weight of this glass but overall i am happy with the results.

Cheers!

Hope you enjoy your new glass Bruno, I know just how good this lens is optically. Affix it to your camera often and you won't notice the weight - rather the lack of it when you switch back to the kit lens. :)

Nice Bruno. I have an older Nikkor 80 -200 but it is nowhere as good as that. What does it weigh?

hi
1.3kg, not that much in comparison to some other exotic glass but comming from the kit lens you can notice the difference.
