Best price professional sport lens ever

180mm 2.8 ultra light long sport lens ever. Super fast Af on D4s (if you are testing, you have to set focus tracking off otherwise even 300mm 2.8 will not perform well ) Perfect color and image quality.

Cons:

The fast AF NIKKOR 180mm f/2.8D IF-ED has proven itself a stellar performer in low-light situations where capturing distant action is crucial. It's fast f/2.8 maximum aperture delivers beautiful background blur and versatile low-light capability.

Amazing lens

Back in the film days I always wanted a 300 f/2.8 lens, but they were close to three grand even then and over five grand now. Now through the magic of DX format in my Nikon D7000 I can have close to one for about a fifth of the price in the 180 f/2.8 lens.

Stellar Performance

This is a unique lens. Beautifully crafted and pro level optics. I got mine used but in mint condition. Was surprised at how light and small it was for a 180mm prime. On my D810 this lens is sharp wide open and renders beautiful images. The bokeh is superb and creamy and AF performance is excellent.

It's Made by Nikon

I mean what can you say, it's a Nikon Lens and this 180mm is a classic lens, great for portraiture. Just a really high quality lens.This lens should be grouped with the "Must Have Lenses" for Nikon.

Excellent for Astrophotography

I have to confess that I did not get my 180mm Nikkor from Amazon as I found a mint condition used (well not used at all as far as I can tell) lens in a camera shop. Had I not, then Amazon would be my choice because I have always experienced a trouble-free returns service.

Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor review by Glutte

Mine is the AF 180mm ED non D model. I would have given this lens a perfect score if I had not been owner of a Nikon 180mm 2.8 ED ai-s before. This MF lens was sharper at f/2.8 and completely free of chromatic aberration and fringing.Bokey at 2.8 was a dream.
Pros:
  • Very well built
  • Sharpness from f/4,exceptional lens after f/4
  • good bokey
Cons:
  • chromatic aberration and color fringing f2.8

180 f2.8 instead fo 80-200 zoom

awesome optics. Way smaller and sharper than the 80-200 f2.8 zoom!!! This lens is great for travel. it is a bargain especially in the plastic barrel ED if version.

Great Lens a classic....

The problem with some reviews is that you get bad info. The 70=300 can never outperform this F2.8 in low light!!! A classic that performs well in low light. The 70-300 is only good in well light environments. I know, I have used both.
