Solid build, quick focus, tack sharp

This lens is built very solidly, AF is quick and accurate, great color rendering. Lens is tack sharp and is thus excellent for taking candid portrait photos from longer distances. Excellent quality bokeh, and controllable depth of field at f/2.8 makes it good for taking wide open near-macro quality shots (see photo).Read full review

Amazing.

I've gone through many lenses in my time; brand, off-brand, imitators and high line. This lens is a spectacular accessory. Shot a few images through it out of the box and it does not disappoint.
Sharp, clear, and reliable. It may very well end up being my "on-the-camera" piece. Agree with others that focusing in the closer ranges challenges the system but it helps with being accurate in my work.
Just a great telephoto prime and should be in all Nikonians' bags.

Budget Astrophotography gem

Con: Lens is not light
Pros: great bargin used. Fantastic image given it's age. Great lens for astrophotography

Since it's manual focus anyway, all you need is a $12-$15 dollar adapter to make this work on most Canon bodies. I generally find the Nikon mount Nikkor lenses cheaper and in better shape than the canon mount Nikkor lenses. Read full review

A MUST HAVE at this Focal Length

This lens is a *MUST HAVE* for avid Nikkor shooters. Fast, sharp, and excellent bokeh. It's also a fabulous portrait lens. Great for background separation.

Nikon 180mm

Fantastic lens. Super sharp. It's at the long end for doing portraits which is a plus these days. It's sometimes hard to find one in good shape at a reasonable price (mainly because folks don't want to give them up I think). Great background blur and an all around superb lens. Read full review

One of Nikon's sweetest lenses and has stood the test of time.

Longer than the 105mm and shorter than the 200mm. Great bokeh and speed to go along with it. This or the 85mm f/1.4 is the lens to have in your bag if you want to shoot candid portraits. I am lucky enough to have the 85mm f/1.4 af, the AF/DC 105mm f/2, and this lens in my bag and it gives me options. To me, it is one of the most sought after lenses in the Nikon lineup and has been popular for more that 40 years. Read full review

Very sharp prime lens!

I have the Nikon 70 to 200 which is a highly rated lens. But I prefer using prime lenses because of the reduced amount of glasses. It was a little harder to use the prime lands because of the obvious restrictions. It is worth it though because of the sharpness of the images, and 180mm is it excellent lens! A terrific value for the money!Read full review
