Great lens at a great price
This lens is one of Nikon's best kept secrets. The 180mm is a light-weight (and considerably less expensive) alternative to one of Nikon's 2.8 zooms. If you don't mind sneaker-zooming, it's an amazing piece of glass.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Lightweight
- Rugged

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
