EQUIPMENT REVIEW NIKON 180mm telelens

All reviews represent my personal opinion after extended usage of the material - I have no connections to any vendor or brand.

I purchased this tele for astronomy purposes.

Check all my images made with it below. Usually I have an extrenal IDAS LPS attached which brings the lens to F3.5. There will be no diffraction spikes if the lens itself is set to F 2.8. However I tempt to use F4 or even F5.6 to increase sharpeness.

I find focusing difficult as the exact focus point for infinity is not matching the visual best point when using live view to focus.
