Nikon's First Commercial Autofocus lens, the AF Nikkor 80mm F2.8
About twelve years earlier Nikon had shown a non commercial prototype (huge, heavy and obtusely slow focussing) at the 1971 Chicago Photo Expo.
Intended for the F3AF, a specially equipped F3 with an autofocus finder head, along with its ED Glass 200mm companion , the 80mm differs from the next generation of AF lenses in the it has no mechanical autofocus link to the body. It has an internal motor and all focusing is achieved by electronic control or by manual over ride.

Extremely nice condition but does show some handling and use but no hard use whatsoever. Excellent condition but shows some wear and use. Perfectly Excellent operating condition but cosmetics leave something to be desired. Usable but has mechanical, optical and cosmetic issues as indicated in individual descriptions Issues as indicated in individual descriptions Very significant conditions as indicated in individual descriptions. The lower end of this range is basically a paperweight that looks something like it might once have taken some pictures.
