I wonder why Nikon has chosen AF 80-200mm D over AF-S 80-200mm ... Optics were changed after AF-D and tripod collar became removable... Maybe something with the AF motor in lens, or to prevent internal competition with the new 70-200mm VR.
But between AF-S and AF-D of 80-200mm, I would definitely choose the AF-S version (if I could find one).

Many excellent lenses were discontinued by Nikon, including the 70-180/4.5-5.6 micro,the 20-35/2.8 etc.
