Which old nikon lens is good? 35-70 f2.8 or 80-200 f2.8?

I'm amateur photographer. I don't have money… I'm a student of graduation. So I don't have job. Photography is my hobby & passion. I love all kind of photography, specially Fashion & Glamour or portraits. I did some shots with some of my friends. But I have only an Old nikon 5100 & a Pre-AI 50mm lens. I have to buy some old lens at low cost. Which will fit for me? Because I can't afford 2-3 lenses or new fast lenses.

You do realise;

a) These lenses were excellent in their day, but were designed for different jobs, and for full-frame.

b) MF lenses won't meter on your D5100.

c) A pre AI lens will probably damage your camera.

The 50mm is short telephoto with your camera and is good for closeup portratis. Try an old 35mm for more general shooting.

Here's a guide on what lens will work with your camera…
