Can I use this lens on Nikon D80: Nikon AF 180mm f/2.8 ED Lens

13 years 4 months ago #8389 by Billy 9
I found this lens for sale used and I was wondering can this be used on my D80? Asking price is $560, so my next question is whether this is a good deal or not?

Thanks guys ;)

Yes, In fact the pics will be superior to most long zoom lenses that you can find from nikon. VERY SHARP, and great color! Good deal? Totally subjective....scour ebay and KEH.com. I rolled the dice and got one off of ebay for $350.00, very happy with the pics.

It is what it is.

The only possible catch is that its a prime lens ... not a zoom. After using this lens though, it makes me want to go to nothing but prime lenses!

It is what it is.

The lens will work very well on your D80 and the cost is reasonable considering it is a fast lens. Go for it you won't regret the purchase after you see the pix you get with it -it's good glass.
