James - I've attached a picture from last weekend (you should get the
attachment but the list won't) taken handheld at 1/180th ISO200 f2.8 at
185mm with my 80-200 non-AF-S on a D-70. I can send the raw file if needed,
and others.
I let you make the comparison...

To the wise oldsters of the list, who must have hundreds of years
experience between them and know a thing or two about testing lenses...
Today I got back from Nikon UK repair service my 80-200 / 2.8 AF-S. I
took some test shots and drove straight over to their facility to
return it. I've been trying to get it fixed for some time (British
understatement; one week short of 6 months and £520) and really feel I
need some impartial opinion at this point. They claim their most
experienced technician has worked on it and that it now falls within
tolerance.
Please take a look and see if you would accept it. Shots are taken
tripod mounted, self-timer, studio flash with duration 700th/sec,
shutter 200th/sec. Jpegs straight out of the camera. 100% crops. I
tried refocusing and took several shots, then picked the best. It's at
200mm f2.8, but even so.

The lens seems to have a really good rep. The crop on my page labelled
'momentum' comes from this page below. It's also 200mm at 2.8.

What do you think?
