thank you so much thank you so much
This lens was exactly what I needed... I was in the market for a macro lens for product photography and had decided to buy the 180 f2.8 Sigma, until I found this one! It's my understanding that Nikon didn't make this lens for more than a couple of years. It's the older style AF which I don't use in the studio anyway. In fact, I had never even heard of this lens until searching on Ebay for a macro. I've been a Nikon user for almost 50 years and I'm not sure how this one escaped my attention. The lens is sharp - I'd expect nothing less from Nikon. The zoom enables me to take both wider shots and then close ups without having to move the camera. It will yield a 1:1 ratio when zoomed to 180mm and the 70mm setting is wide enough to view my stage and backdrop. For me, it's the best of both worlds. The person I bought it from shipped it from Japan and it arrived much sooner than I expected. The lens was as advertised and in perfect working order. I am very pleased with my purchase!Read full review
Perfevct for small product shots. This lens is a sleeper. I shoot small products like jewelry and the set is crowded with lighting and reflectors. It's nice to be able to zoom to frame the shot rather than move the camera (attached to a heavy stand.) The tripod collar is a rugged mount point. It's sharp and even, closeup and stopped down. Perfect. Note: Nikon AF-D zoom lenses can get hazy. They are not airtight. So look for one with no haze.
