DESCRIPTION

Nikon ED AF Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 telephoto prime lens, presented in Very Good condition and fully tested and working. Optics are clean and deliver the classic rendering this lens is known for: sharp, contrasty images with smooth background blur. Autofocus is accurate, and the aperture operates correctly.
