I recently brought a lens from the classified section on impulse and at the time got cold feet and thought I had probably made a mistake.
I have now had the lens for a few weeks and have to say I am totally blown away with the results it produces.
I use to own a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR which I thought was good but this new lens beats it hands down for IQ and sharpness.
Ok the lens I brought was a Nikon 180mm F2.8D AF IF ED, 8 months old and in mint condition, I am using it more on my D700 than I thought as I brought it to live on my D300s really.
When it arrived the fact it was a prime made me think I would not get much use from it, I could not have been more wrong, looking back on my usage with the 70-200 I notice 70% were taken between 180 and 200mm.
Then I thought what will I shoot with it, so far the list has been landscape, Wildlife, Birds, Plants, Portraits and still lifes.
The great thing about this lens is the fact it is small and light, has a built in hood and is as fast as anything to focus.
Below are a few shots taken and maybe it is just me but I am so happy with the results that I wanted to share this with you as I think every Nikon user should have one.

Looks like a good buy!
