What is the price of the Zoom Nikkor MF - 80-200mm f/4.5 roughly?

It doesn't matter - it won't autofocus with any Nikon DSLR and won't even meter on half of them.

It's only available used, so if you have an MF Nikon body you could always try to track one down, but you'll save time and money with a third-party version, and a lot of hassle with a more modern lens if you own a digital body.

The new Nikon Df will use that lens, but what you save on that old, old lens will still not save you enough to buy the Df

In its day, the 80-200 mm was one of the first zoom lenses used by pros in the 1970's. Much, much has developed since then and now we would consider that lens a real "dog". I used it a lot when shooting air shows when I was stuck in one location and could not move without endangering myself and the pilots of the aircraft (back when they let pros stand in the margin between the active runway and taxi ways) There was a behemoth 50-300 mm, but you needed an assistant just to carry it for you It weighed 2.3kg and it had a wide open aperture of f/4.5
