Well yet another item for sale that I will probably regret selling!
This is my Nikon 180mm F/2.8ED AF lens + Bahtinov mask (I'll put up images tonight when I get home). Known as one of the sharpest lenses around for Astrophotography, this lens produces superb images even at f/2.8! Have a look on astrobin or even here on IIS to see what it can do. It's a full frame lens, has AF, comes with an extendable dew shield, end and front caps, in perfect condition and is optically identical to today's $700+ 180mm F/2.8 IF-ED. Beauty is that it also has an aperture ring so you can control the aperture without having to use rubber bands or what not to keep the aperture blades open.
I also got a custom made Bahtinov mask for it (Thanks Mike) so focusing should be a breeze. Using this for the first time on my D800 definitely blew me away, it's just *so* sharp! I wish I had a use for this during the day so I could justify keeping it :(
Asking for $390 shipped to your door with insurance! PM if interested thanks :)
