#1827 Nikon 70-180mm AF Micro-Nikkor Macro Lens [SOLD]

####SOLD####

CODE NO. : #1827

Nikon's 70-180mm Micro Nikkor is quite possibly the best dedicated macro lens ever made, and is the only macro zoom lens Nikon has ever produced. By allowing its designers the latitude to ignore some of the traditional constraints upon which macro lenses have typically been designed, Nikon was able to focus efforts on the primary goals of absolute image quality and real-world usability. This has resulted in a lens that is reasonably compact and lightweight, exceedingly sharp, and that radically improves on the versatility of the traditional macro lens through the addition of zoom capability. The main technical difficulties encountered in macro photography are those of accurate framing, and of lighting. The ability to zoom adds a critical additional dimension by which the desired framing can be achieved quickly and accurately, reducing both the time involved and the likelihood of disturbing one's subject. The lens' 180mm maximum reach has additional benefits in terms of working distance and allows for flexibility in lighting; the combination resulting in capture capabilities that, realistically, far exceed those of typical fixed-focal-length macro lenses.

This lens appears to have received relatively little actual use, evidenced by the condition of its mount, and has clearly been well cared-for when not in use. It is, essentially, indistinguishable from new. Glass is flawless, with clean, clear optics throughout, and operationally the lens is flawless. Zoom and focus action are light and smooth throughout their ranges, diaphragm action is perfect, and the lens' tripod mount and M - A focus selector operate smoothly and easily, as on a new lens. Be sure to view the attached photos, and please feel free to ask any questions. This is an exceptionally nice example of a fairly rare and hard-to-find lens. You will not be disappointed.

Included in this listing is the lens, front and rear lens caps, Nikon HB-14 lens shade and original box as shown.

Everything is sold with an absolute guarantee of satisfaction. Thanks for viewing..
