Will the Nikon 80-200 2.8 lens D version autofocus with this camera

I want to confirm this camera is compatible with the Nikon 80-200 2.8 lens. I want to take pictures of high school sporting events. My strategy is to purchase D90 and 80-200 lens. Any comments or other suggestions?

That's the beauty of Nikon ... legacy lens support. There are a few models that don't, and if you want to verify, head on over to Ken Rockwell's Nikon Lens Compatibility page. There's a pretty comprehensive list there.

Hi

Yes it is fully compatible. The D90 also has a focussing motor on board. 1 thing though. The D90 has a APS-C sensor (the DX format), and the 80-200 2.8 is not a DX lens. this means that if you use it you have to multiply by 1.5 to get the correct magnification. In this case you will be working with a 120-300 lens, as the full size image provided by the lens doesn't fit on the APS-C sensor. But part of the changed magnification ratio no problem whatsoever: a great lens and a great companion for the D90!
