I have one of these...
Nikon Telephoto Nikkor 180mm F 2 8D AF Ed If Autofocus Lens | eBay
That isn't in as nice of shape as this one is. I purchased it from a wedding photographer that beat the hell out of his equipment. The badges are missing, the AF is on the slow side (read bad for action shots) the filter ring was beat up to the point where you couldn't get a filter on it (I've since straightened it and have a UV filter on it... other filters can be mounted to that) and there are some small scratches in the front element that do not seem to affect IQ at all.
I don't use this lens much. The images are sharp (as seen in the pics below) but It just doesn't leave the bag much. I'm contemplating swapping it in for someting more useful, but I'm not sure where to even price it.
Below are pics of the damage to the filter ring and front element (ring has been straightened) and a couple sample pics. Any idea on where I should try to price this thing? I'm kind of at a loss.
