A look at the history of the 70-200mm class of lenses



This week, we wanted to discuss one of the most popular zoom lens designs, the 70-200mm range. Starting in 1969 when Nikon released their original 80-200mm f/4.5 AI lens, this zoom range has been a staple in photographer’s kits since. We’ll look at what the modern offerings are, and talk about which ones we use and how we use them.
