Hmmm, you haven't been around these groups very long, huh? ;-), ;-), ;-)
The 80-200mm f2.8, though big and heavy (and therefore [temporarily! ;-]
easier to hand-hold for sharp photos at relatively slow speeds...), is,
in a word, EXCELLENT! It has very few shortcomings common to zooms, being
VERY sharp at all apertures and distances (except when near the long end,
near minimum focus, and also at the widest apertures [altogether, for one
condition...]), with excellent brilliance and contrast, even illumination
(except for very moderate fall-off wide open), low distortion and flare.
In other words, it is a great zoom, with performance comparable to good
primes. It is also first-rate on the TC14/14B/14C converters by one stop
down - STILL comparable with good primes! It is also well-made (one of
the few nice-feeling AF lenses), sturdy, and MF (older versions)is as
good as it is on MF lenses. You will like this Nikkor lens! (Though the
newer version has a tripod socket [the older two versions don't], but the newer one is two-ring, a pain for fast work with MF - so I guess there's a Kirk bracket in my future for those few times I want to mount the 80-200mm
on a tripod....;-)
Hope This Helps
