It has a good build quality and was manufactured some time ago. The lens has multiple glass elements and a lens coating to reduce reflections and improve image quality. The lens has a fixed aperture of f/4.5, which may limit its use in low light conditions. The lens can produce a nice bokeh, which is the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in an image. The lens is manual focus only, so it may take some practice to get sharp images. Overall, the Zykkor 80-200mm f/4.5 MC Auto is a good option for photographers who want a telephoto zoom lens with good image quality, but are willing to sacrifice autofocus and a fast aperture for a lower cost alternative.
