i have no experience with these. does any one else have one?

I am getting a 80-200 2.8 nikkor one touch lens for a couple of weeks. i'm not sure which version though although i know its a AF. I'm aware from google that the one touch can mean focus/zoom all on one movement. some versions have a different barrel movement.

Any advice for me to use this?

Two rings over push pull any day. But the 80-200 2.8 is an absolute beast. Awesome lens. What will you be shooting...? I almost suggest a monopod.

I loved my 100-400. The push pull design actually works very well. I can adjust focus yet zoom at the same time. Works very wrll for airshows, widelife shooting or sports IMO.

Using it on a cropper just gives it more reach.
