CLEAN Classic Nikkor Lens.
This is one of Nikon's classic lenses. This lens is extremely CLEAN!! Excellent for landscapes and vast open spaces.

Near Mint Nikkor AI 200 mm f/4.0
This lens is so sharp you could cut yourself!!! The lens I bought was rated "Near Mint" and indeed it is. I am "Old School" meaning I still shoot film. I own a Nikon F (FTn) and a Nikon F2 (DP-1), but even though it is a Manual Focus lens it will work on any Nikon DSLR. It has routinely been listed as a "must have" lens. This lens rounds out a collection of lens that span everything from 24mm to 200 mm. This is considered the "ideal range". Here is my collection of lenses:
1) Nikkor 24 mm Ai f/2.8 Ai
2) Vivitar 28 mm f/2.5
3) Nikkor 43-86 mm Ai f/3.5 ("new" version -vs- "old" version) zoom
4) Nikkor 50 mm Ai f/1.4
5) Nikor 55 mm Non-Ai f/3.5 macro
6) Nikkor 200 mm Ai f/4.0
There are only two other lenses I might want to add at some point in the future:
Nikkor 105 mm f/2.5 -or- Nikkor 135 mm f/2.8 "portrait" lens
Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 telephoto
One thing that you might notice is that with the exception of the 43-86 mm f/3.5 zoom lens, all my lenses are prime lenses. I am NOT a professional photographer, but rather amateur, who has shoot a LOT of film (since 1971). The rule of thumb was to buy prime lenses, not zoom lenses since prime lenses have less glass elements in them. You bought a zoom for general purpose work where in you might need a variety of focal lengths otherwise you picked a fast prime lens that will fill 85% of your shooting needs.
One final note about the Nikkor 200 mm f/4.0: While not generally thought of as a "portrait lens" don't let anyone kid you. If you know how to use one you can get some extremely good portraits with a 200 mm lens. There was a time that I ONLY had a 200 mm f/4.0 and a 50 mm f/1.8 for a Pentax Spotmatic II and I could nail some to die for portraits that was shot at Carnival in St. Thomas, as well as candid portraits of friends and family. Comparing my old Pentax 200 mm f/4.0 to the Nikkor 200 mm f/4.0. The Pentax 200 mm had a minimum f stop of 22, the Nikkor 200 mm has a minimum f stop of 32, which means you will get a greater depth of field with the Nikkor. The Nikkor is also smaller and lighter than my old Pentax 200 mm.

An Oldie but Goody
An Oldie but Goody. Trying to eek out a little more power on an old backup server. This was just the ticket.
