🎥 About This Video....
In this video I take my Nikkor 180mm Lens to the beach area and country park and also a Motor Cycle Show to see what I could photograph. I was mostly looking for shallow depth of field images but I got so much more.

I always suspected that the day job was pro photography, love how you never mention it, such humility is rare on YouTube. The quality of the images and videography always gave it away, mind. The "everyman" persona makes it seem so accessible and makes all us amateurs feel that we can do it too! Thanks for the regular fill of inspiration.

I use a 200/4 pretty often. One of my sharpest lenses, too. Have a 2x teleconverter to create an effective 400/8, and it's still one of my sharpest at that point. Took it out just the other day in both configurations, and got some of my fav shots so far. One of my most used is a 135/2.8, Not quite so long, but I've taken it out for street, alongside a bunch of other photographers with their 28/35/50 setups. Just really nice to get something different to the crowd.

You got some great shots there Roger. I particularly like the bike and helmet photo. Keep them coming, mate.

I use 180 f/2 on my Canon A1, AE1Program and TX. I love the use of this lens.

[BarwickGreen]

I often use a long lens for landscape on my Bronica because it helps to simplify the competition. I've just bought a Vivitar Series 1 macro 70-210 for my Minolta 35mm camera too, t've not had chance to try it.

my AF-D version of this lens on D700 is fantastic

[stuartmills.sizephotography]

Love all the little darkroom tips and tricks you show us, for a newbie they are invaluable 👍

I almost always shoot street and use a 35mm prime, recently picked up a Tair 135mm prime which is great fun and a completely different experience to what I am used to.

Got me thinking of dragging out my 105mm f1.8 but on my F4. Haven't done that in quite some time, so thanks for the instigation/inspiration! Don't have an F6 but could use my F5 with the 70-200 f2.8 VR II. Haven't done that in quite a while too. Looks like I have some new assignments! Thanks!

[swansong]

I really enjoyed this video, it was different and the three images you printed were excellent. Like the framing effects too.
I have been thinking of getting the Nikon 180mm lens but the AF-D version. But in the end I got the Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D lens, I’ve yet to use it though, had it a fortnight now. Great channel, keep it up.

[Mennozo]

Great vid, yet again! Just how simple compositions make great images. This is the photography I like. Classic SFLAB!

[ahab]

I use the Nikkor 80-200mm F4 zoom and I also have a Sigma 500mm F8 mirror lens which I only use at odd times now that's a lens I get camera shake on if not on a tripod. If I find I run too low in shutter speed use the burr as an effect like zooming while taking the shot. Keep up the great work.

[SprocketHoles]

I have the last AF version, having auto focus on it for the F6 is amazing

[SloopJohnBeeRockabilly]

My longest prime is an 85mm f1.8. I often use an 18-135 or 18-200 for everything including landscapes; obviously not fast though. My worst for camera shake is my 100-300! 👍📸

[amosk]

A quick run before you start eh? Lol! Great photos and quality video Boss.

[IainHC]

I love a long lens for shooting any scenario. That separation is next to nothing!! 🙂

[Liquidclouds]

I Love my Nikon 180mm 😍 and I have the icky plastic one from the 80s ( first gen AF) but the best 180mm is the Zeiss Sonnar. I have two versions: the old east german behemoth and a modern Contax one made in Japan.

[erichstocker]

You know I have a 180mm for one of my cameras. I don't believe that I have used it but once. Generally, I like the 200mm rather than the 180mm or something wider. Indeed my favorite are 35mm and 50mm. 180mm seems like such an odd focal length to me. It was interesting watching you use it.

[jdebultra]

I use the same lens on a F2. I use mine in the same manner as you. It's a really nice lens.

[johnbragg]

Great video, but one bit of advice from an old guy, use grass as a bloody great big grey card in difficult metering situations. I had great fun recently with Vivitar 200mm lens on my Nikon F5. Great lenses for isolating details. Keep up the good work.

[siypic]

That 180 is really great still use it on the d850 (half length bridal portrait)
