Hi,

I'm interested in buying a Nikkor 80-200/ED-D two-touch (Non AF-S) Never had held it in my hands before.

Is the focus mechansims driven by the AF-Monitor in the Nikon Body, or is a motor built in in this lens?

2nd Question, concerns the F-100 Body: MUST the aperture become set on the F-100 body, for shooting whith a preselected aperture combined with automatic shutter speed, or is it possible, like with the old MF bodies, to set it on the lens via the aperture ring?

Best regards, Roman

1) No motor in the lens like in the AFS types Focussing motor is in the AF camera's body AF has nothing to do with the display (this only shows info)

2) Manual aperture selection is always possible on the lens (only not with G-type lenses which have no aperture ring) eg for use in M or A mode With P and S mode aperture has to be fully closed down
