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

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.

Nikkor AF 180mm f/2.8 D ED (FX) - Review / Test Report
The AF-D 180/2.8 performs on a very high level. Center resolution is excellent wide open already, while the borders and corners show very good sharpness throughout most of the tested aperture range. Distortion, CAs and vignetting are well controlled and not field-relevant for most subjects.

Pros:
- Fast
- very sharp
- robust
Cons:
- No weather seal
- a bit heavy and long

This is possibly the sharpest lens I have ever shot with. It produces beautiful colour and I loved using it to take portraits on my D70. Really good for portraits and for sport if you can get close enough to the action.
Pros:
- Light weight for its fast 2.8 Aperture, Solid build, Sharp
- Even at 2.8, Beautiful Bokeh, Built in hood, Couples well with a tele converter
Cons:
- Sometimes it doesn't seem long enough
- ie sports photography, Only really practical for head shot portraits unless you have alot of space to back up
- I mainly used it for this anyway

My favourite lens
I have a collection of about a dozen Nikkor lenses, ranging from 10.5mm to 300mm, and if I had to chose only one, it would be the 180mm. On my D90 it is effectively a 270mm f2.8 lens, at an astonishingly cheap price for the quality of its construction and optics.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Great hold it all bag for travelling
"We bought this bag (the version without the flag) in 2008 so have had alot of experience with it. We needed it for travelling. I do trip videography and work as I go along so I take a fair bit of equipment with me when I travel. This bag fits everything I need plus more.
