A continuation of the review I did a few months back of the 180mm f/2.8 AI version of this classic prime lens. Some say it is too long for portraits and too short for wildlife, but I absolutely love this focal length. In this video I explore the improvements Nikon have done between 1980 and 1992 when these lenses were produced.
