Ideal for parties and events

The Nikon 180mm, f2.8 provides a high light intensity in conjunction with a very compact design due to the fixed focal length. Processing acts - as usual Nikon - very high quality. Even the case (CL-38) like, adjacent to the often usual "Nikon bag" on a positive note. Also common in Nikon: comparatively expensive.

From my perspective, this lens is ideal for celebrations and events: The high focal length allows some distance from the people and by the comparatively compact design acts not as present as a "thick" zoom lens. Moreover, provided an excellent bokeh at maximum aperture. It is at just 800g relatively easy.

I have not felt as a disadvantage, as long as you have the necessary freedom of movement of the lack of zoom capability. If you need more flexibility, with the 70-200mm, f2.8 certainly better off, but care must also invest twice (and wear).
