This is a test pic with the Nikkor 80-200 f 4.5 Ai N. I purchased this lens at eBay for $3.50 (!). It had a lott of creep, but that was an easy fix with electrical tape.
People who claim new zoom lenses outperform oldies are, in my opinion, totally wrong. Judge yourself!
This pic is handheld at around 10 yards (I didnt bring my tripod)
with F11, 250 ISO and 1/600s with my Nikon D7100.
You are right. Older lens work well for some of us. I have Nikkor 75-300 that is sharper than my Nikon 24-120. As far as your zoom creep go to your food store get the rubber bands that they put the broccoli up these work great. Keep shooting with that amazing old lense.
