The penultimate entry in my weekend with the Nikon 80–200mm f/2.8 AF-D finds me in Brooklyn for the West Indian Carnival Parade. All the photos for tomorrow’s review have now been taken, and my long weekend comes to an end.

The parade was a great time: gorgeous elaborate costumes, beautiful people, and lots of dancing.

The 80–200mm f/2.8 was a good lens to have, and a popular focal range among others there, I saw both the Canon 70–200mm f/2.8 and 80–200 f/2.8, as well as the Nikon 70–200mm f/2.8 being used by others. It would have, however, been a much better focal length for use on full frame, as 80mm wasn’t quite wide enough. I did do some shooting with it on my FE as well, so I’ll have photos in a couple weeks once I get those rolls developed and scanned.

My exclusivity with the 80–200mm f/2.8 came to an end some time around 2pm when I threw on my 24mm f/2 AIS to get pictures of some of the massive costumes. I didn’t make it quite through the full weekend, but close enough.

I’ve saved a number of photos from each day to use on the review, so it won’t all be stuff you’ve seen before. Hope you enjoy it!
