Yes although I wouldn't turn down one of those newly styled Nikon lenses, the 80-200 matching the 28-80 I think the numbers go. They seem deadly functional. But I haven't shot with a zoom in years, I played with one for five minutes on the road a few months back. An indispensable tool for most, a key to mediocrity for me. Mark Rabiner
