My mum came back from the UK recently and brought some goodies back.

Apparently, my uncle in Wales is a camera nut as well. He gave my mum an immaculate condition Nikon D80 with 18-55mm kit lens. That camera is now given to my cousin.

He also gave my mum a mint condition Nikon 70-210mm f4-5.6 AF lens. I claimed ownership of it. The lens is produced by Nikon from 1988 and discontinued in 1993. That makes it a 20 year old lens! It came with a CPL polarizer as well!

The 70-210mm is not exactly the 70-200 f2.8 I wanted but it is long enough for portraits. It’s a non-VR lens so I’ll need super steady hands when it’s at its longest focal length.

I didn’t know it was a push-pull zoom lens. I see the 70mm on the lens barrel and the 70-210mm engraving but I had no idea how to zoom it to 210mm. The aperture ring is also different from the one on my 50mm f1.8. This is the first time I had to Google for answers regarding a lens!

Now for some pictures of the lens.

That’s about it. Adios!
