Comments about Nikon Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor Lens - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:

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!

Comments about Nikon Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor Lens - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:

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.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor Lens - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:

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.
