Manual Focus 80-200mm "battle" at 200mm wide open

All shots with D610 mounted on tripod, live view focusing. No PP, straight from the camera (NEFs).

 

Top: centre; middle: left border; bottom: right border.

 

Lenses are from left to right:

Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 ai (older circular rear); Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 ai (newer rectangular rear)I; Nikkor 80-200mm f/4 ais; Nikon 70-210mm f/4 E

 

At 200mm, again the 70-210mmE is the clear "looser", followed by the older 80-200/4.5.

 

Note that the N=1, so copy variation need to be considered.
