There are plenty of 180mm lenses. Most makers of the 1950's-1960's made at least one type, though many are rare. I think there is even an AF Nikkor 180
Some of the common ones -
There are at least 6 versions of preset 180mm (all f/3.5) in the Soligor brand, maybe more
Makers are:
Tamron - this is the early preset T-mount Tamron - a much later one below -
Tokina
Nittoh/Komine
Kawanon
Sun (I think this was established as the maker of the "silver ring" presets)
One unknown
Most of these are also found in other brands, including their makers own brands.
Others -
Nikkor 180/2.8 - there are several generations of these from the 1950's
Olympus Zuiko 180/2.8
Tamron SP 180/2.5
Piesker 180/5.5 (often also seen in other brands)
Meyer Telemegor 180/5.5, Primotar 180/3.5
Isco 180/2.8, there may be several versions of this, and I think a smaller aperture type also
Kyoei Acall 180/3.5 (seen in other brands as well, including Petri)
Schneider - I think two versions at least, one was f/5.5 from the 1930's-50's, there may be another
Vivitar - 180/3.5 - one of the early presets, maker still unknown, different from the ones sold as Soligor.
Then there are others from Angenieux, Delft, Rodenstock, etc.
There are certainly others but I can't think of them at the moment. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Thank you again, seems that 180's are either rather old or alternatively very fast and expensive lenses? More modern lenses are usually 200mm. Why I don't want 200? Because it is too much difference from 120 I want to use.
edit: Ok .. Tamron 180/2.5
"was produced in limited numbers, just 3,000 being manufactured"

There is a great manual Nikkor pre-AI (I think it's called Nikkor-P) which is a very faithful copy of the original Olympia Sonnar
and I think the price of it is also very reasonable.
I never owned the lens, but everybody who have or had it speak of it in very positive terms.
You can also consider 150mm lenses as an alternative which is closer to 120.
There are cheap but good ones (Kaleinar) and expensive ones (Hasselblad) _________________ Orio, Administrator

It depends on what you consider old.
The Japanese preset 180/3.5 lenses were made from maybe 1961-1972 depending on the maker.
These are usually quite cheap (under$30 on US ebay), and if what you want is sharpness they are very good.
I have five different types and they are all competitive with my S-M-C Takumar 200/3.5
The Nikkors look like an excellent choice, you should be able to find the Nikkor-P (1960's-70's, non-AI) for maybe $100-150 if you hunt for a while. The later ones are much more expensive, the same as Zeiss.
Then there are those that are BOTH old and expensive, like the Isco 180/2.8 _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

The "perfect" 180 for me is the Leica Elmar 4/180: fantastic image quality and due to the f/4 still pretty compact and light, even usable on a NEX!
And along the Summicron 50 and the Elmarit 135, probably one of the most affordable Leica R lenses! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

At 180 you'll be hard pressed to top the nikkor 180/2.8 ED AIs which can be found for around 240USD. Widely considered one of the best MF nikkors ever. Read Bjorn's glowing report.
It's not to small, but not huge, plenty fast for indoor work:
Incredible for long range shots
and shoots like a late model summicron at 50ft

the newer version, called ED, is a bit more compact and said to be THE 180 to have....but both are fine lenses

My copy of the Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED AI-S seems to give pretty good results:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/s58y/6252515920/in/photostream
Note that this greatly enlarged star test shot is designed to bring out the worst in the lens. It's interesting how there is asymmetric chromatic aberration at the center. Note that the original full-frame test shot at 3x enlargment would be several feet across, depending on your monitor.
The Leica APO Telty-R seems to be a bit better for astroimaging, but won't do f/2.8. _________________

I tried many, too. My list, sorted by the order of preference:
1) CZ Sonnar 180/2.8 Contax - superb in all respects!
2) Nikkor*ED 180/2.8 - superb, but bokeh can be harsh when stopped down (very smooth wide open);
3) Nikkor 180/2.8 Ai (non-ED) - superb, but slightly (very slightly) inferior to its newer *ED counterpart;
4) Leitz (Leica-R) 180/2.8 - almost as good as the Ai Nikkor, but not quite;
5) Olympus Zuiko 180/2.8 - sharp but LOTS of purple fringing wide open (very creamy bokeh though!);
6) CZJ MC Sonnar 180/2.8 - both Sonnar and Jupiter share similar optical construction. Both very heavy and very impractical in use.
7) Jupiter-6 - same as the Sonnar, slightly lower contrast (single-coated lens). _________________ List of lenses |

that's the nikon ed ais
looks like the contax is about 100 more----if these guys say it's even better i believe them.
then there's also the elmarit-R and the telyt APO which are even more pricey.
the older nikkors non-ED are prolly the best value. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L* |

Would you consider pentax K200/2.5 as 180-ish?
Pentax does not have 180 prime, but the 200/2.5 should be interesting match. _________________ La migliore cura di LBA � imparare una nuova lingua. Le meilleur rem�de de LBA est d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. La mejor cura del LBA es aprender una nueva lengua. |

I bought a Soligor 180mm/3.5 the other day but waiting for delivery next Thursday.
Will post pics of the lens and samples.
Seller says its a good lens with 15/16 blades. |
I am curious if it is the same as mine:
I find it quite good, but I hardly have experience with 180 and 200mm lenses.
Had tested the Soligor for sharpness against a S-M-C 4/200 and the Soligor is sharper, specially at corners and open apertures

This is the "unknown" one I mentioned - I don't recall if it was supposed to have been made by Kino or Sun.
All of the other types of these Japanese 180/3.5 presets I have tried are very good indeed. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
