Nikon 70-180 micro
I know it's slow, OLD glass, but are any of you using it these days ? Any portrait examples, or macro shots you'd like to share with the rest of us ?? Thanks in advance ~ m' Aug 14 14 07:45 pm Link It's another 'Rockwell Special'. Right when the lens was discontinued our buddy Ken took to the internet about how the 70-180 was the most incredible lens Nikon ever made. It immediately went out of stock everywhere and used prices bolted upwards. I've never used it. I'm guessing it's a very competant lens from the Film Days of Nikon.

I like the results.  and  Aug 16 14 10:28 am Link Backstreet Photography2 wrote: Dennis it isn't micro, doesn't go to 1:1 besides you'll be out of luck trying to get a TC200 to work on it... Aug 16 14 11:25 am Link I love the 70-180 MICRO. I use it with close up diopters and extension tubes. very versatile for close up work. I also have the 200 micro. I usually opt for the 70-180 though  Aug 16 14 08:16 pm Link nice lens, not worth the going price at the moment. Aug 17 14 09:19 am Link shop around. up to $1k it is a great value for the money. probably worth a couple hundred more easily. I just saw one sold for $1050. Aug 17 14 10:53 am Link |
