AF Nikkors will fit, AF, and meter on dSLR Nikon bodies D80 and above, but
not meter or AF on the less expensive bodies unless the lenses are "G",
"S", or "I"
(which it is unlikely your lenses are). Bodies below the D200 will not
meter with
non-AF lenses - so it is likely that your lenses will work well on a D80,
a very
nice body. Remember that all your lenses will have a crop factor of 1:1.5,
since
the sensor is smaller than the FF film size. The 80-200 f2.8 Nikkor is a
fine lens
(and I have one for sale, at
http://www.donferrario.com/ruether/fs-zooms.htm,
for an idea of a price for one tested and in really nice condition, if you
decide to
sell [but don't! ;-]).
