Nikon 180mm f/2.8 IF-ED AF NIKKOR Lens - Preowned

Overview:

Legendary Sharpness meets Pro-Grade Portability

The Nikon AF 180mm f/2.8 ED IF is widely regarded by photography purists as one of the finest prime lenses ever produced by Nikon. Known for its world-class optical performance and stunning bokeh, this lens is a powerhouse for portraiture, sports, and low-light action.

Key Features:

• Optically Superb: Features Nikon’s legendary ED glass to ensure high contrast and crisp resolution even when shooting wide open at f/2.8.

• Fast & Constant Aperture: The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture provides exceptional low-light performance and beautiful background isolation (bokeh).

• Internal Focusing (IF): The lens barrel does not change size during focusing, ensuring balanced handling and fast autofocus speeds.

• Built Like a Tank: Constructed with a rugged, professional-grade finish designed to withstand years of heavy use.

• Compact Telephoto: Significantly lighter and more compact than a 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom, making it the perfect choice for photographers who prefer a streamlined kit.
