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.

Sharper Than Sharp
This might be the sharpest lens Nikon ever made. The focal length is rather inconvenient, and I don't use it all that often. For portraits, sports, or birds (wildlife) the results are absolutely stunning. No zoom lens could hold a camera to this lens for sharpness. I have taken pictures of birds in flight at quite a distance that look so sharp that you feel you can reach into the photograph and touch it. Amazing. Also at 180mm it is very light and small (for such a strong telephoto) The background is so beautifully blurred with portraits (bokeh) No doubt, I will always own it!

Poor overall performance
Given the cost save your money and get a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom. The 70-300mm is cheaper, faster focus (with a D-300) and
much better in low light.

New lens for less than a new price
This is a replacement lens for an older, manual focus 180 f2.8. It takes up much less space in the camera bag and is lighter.
