"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.

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.

You can buy first after you can read review . That much good lens you are reading reviews now. I shot this lens and 300mm f2.8 I checked results. I thought I shot with 300mm .2.8 I shocked it was 180mm 2.8 . I love this lens ( for giving idea ) my first lens for buy .

very fast very light perfect optic perfect colors than all other lenses full professional sport lens; some reviews said Af slow; fast or faster than Nikon 70-200 vr II U have to check your camera setting set off your focus tracking

no

I love this lens for outdoor use. Very nice to picture people. It is somewhat long when carrying around. Also people will notice you! Definitely a lens I recommend.

Fast; very sharp; robust

No weather seal; a bit heavy and long

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.

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.

Very well built; Sharpness from f/4,exceptional lens after f/4; good bokey

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.
