    Overview

    The Nikon IX-Nikkor 60-180 mm f/4.5-5.6 is a compact zoom lens designed for the Pronea APS system. Optical performance is decent at the center but softens at the edges, especially at longer focal lengths. Build quality is typical of the era, with a plastic barrel and smooth zoom action. It suits users seeking a lightweight travel zoom for APS film, but modern digital users may find resolution lacking.
