Now with enough available light to shoot with this lens I would consider it my favorite with it amazing film like tones as detail begins to thin out.

The Lens

This Lens was released in February of 1988 and discontinued in 1993. This lens was release to update former lens AF Zoom Nikkor 70-210mm f/4.0s with a cheaper and much more advance lens.

Using this lens with the Nikon D90 video function is ideal as it has a manual aperture ring that allows Nikon D90 users to override the auto aperture setting allowing you to have a fluid shift from different lighted areas (no random light changes from your camera creating confusion to audiences.) This lens will never leave my collection as I upgrade to full frame cameras this beast will be my go to lens for epic zoom shoots.
