Pros: Looks cool to impress people who are around you, especially with a big Nikon body like F5 etc.

Cons: Too long too slow and too heavy to be used effectively, unless you have a stabilized body, which I think Nikon does not make!

Opinion: I had this lens in my earlier life of film era photographer. In that era it was already only decent in sharpness. It was actually quite soft close and wide open. Too soft by today's standards. Today it is a nice retro gadget but I would always use a modern sharper lens with OIS (or a body with IBIS, but Nikon has no body stabilisation even today, I think). I would not buy this lens again.

Pros: Mechanical quality;outstanding sharpness;very pleasant blur and bokeh at all apertures;lightweight,but sturdy at the same time;it brings very pleasant feeling when held! I haven't noticed any chromatic aberration as some people are stating here since there is nearly none!

Cons: AF could be a little be faster but open wide it performs excellently anyway!

Opinion: It is Nikon's 'Old Line' glass what could be kept with respect and valued as a treasure 'cose it is! For those who complain about chromatic aberration I'd advice to visit an oculist! Just get one reflex lens and you will know what does chromatic aberration means! With 180 mm there is nearly nothing from it! Noisy autofocus? Hey,people! It s absurd statement! Do you consider yourself as a photographers or sound engineers?! If so invest a bit of money and compare some Nikkor or third party lenses or - just put your cameras aside and switch to sound engineering industry,please! This is a piece of glass what even high class photographers are proud to have! Though - it is matter of taste!

Pros: Exceptional performance, build quality

Cons: It is an AF, but it is a search for the hair in the egg.

Opinion: This lens is a true masterpiece. Unsurpassed for the TA yield, the maneuverability that make it suitable for multiple uses in low light conditions. A real shame that Nikon has ceased to produce it. Do not listen to those who say that Nikon lenses a bit 'dated do not make with the most modern sensors: surely it is not true for this lens (I use it on D810 and D850).

Pros: Beautiful rendering of colors, perspective, blurred, three-dimensionality. Light.

Cons: I can't find any.

Opinion: I bought this used lens because I needed a telephoto lens paying very little. A real bargain. Light and with surprising quality, I use it a lot to take sports photographs (horseback riding) where it is really exceptional for the rendering of colors (the ground, the hair of the animals, the clothes of the conductors). It is bright and the focal length is well suited for indoor and fieldside use. Sometimes I add a focal length duplicator, but for my needs 180 mm is enough. Also good for portraits. The contrast is there but it seems to me not too violent.
