That is beyond doubt one of the best lenses ever made by Nikon (or anyone). It is sharp as anything out there, has lovely boke and captures very pleasing colour. Nice nice shots.

It's a bit heavier than the 200 but the 180 has more DoF, making shots at 20' a bit easier...
stopping down to 5.6 it's still bright enuf to focus on the run...
the only issue I have with MF lenses is the wide range of lit "in focus" LED,
but once I figured where the 'sweet spot' is on each lens I'm ready to squeeze the shutter and get consistent focus results.

Excellent photograph mfkita! The beast is impressively detailed.

Did you know that the Nikkor 180mm is an (excellent) copy of the famous Zeiss Olympia Sonnar?
The most successful lens of all times.

Picked one these up last week, the ED version - looking forward to testing it out after seeing your shots!

Very nice for a 100% and your 10D still rock

Very nice shoot! I have Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED and Sonnar 180 in all variant. Sonnar is cheaper especially zebra and better Smile or equal.
