What u mean? Oh btw ts, the afd 80-200 is a AF-D lens, means the is no BIM so it can't auto focus on models like the d5100 and below.

i know its af-d.. what i mean is that when focusing on like d7000 all these.. i donno if it would still be accurate or not.. since its already so old..

It's slower than the newer models but it's good enough for you currently. Don't worry about the AF speed, don't think you can tell the diff anyway

A sample for you.... sorry for the lousy skill.

Why worry? D7k has AF fine tuning.

if you need extra reach but don't need VR, can try to get a cheapo 70-300mm (non-VR). the picture below taken by this lens:
