I prefer to use prime lenses and one of my all time favorites is the Nikkor 180mm f2.8 AFS.
A prime lens with a passable autofocus the 180mm is imho a wonderful lens to learn how to use.
It takes some getting used to but once you get comfortable with the focal length and the general mechanical characteristics of the lens I think you will find it an amazing tool to work with.
for example.
I admit to a little crop here. The autofocus worked well and locked on the helicopter just fine. The full resolution file reveals detail fine enough to resolve the men in the aircraft.

while still on the subject of the 180mm
as well
The lens worked wonderfully for this photo of the LA skyline. I think this lens delivers amazing detail under the right conditions.
Warning: HDRI ahead
A nicely textured and saturated sky with fine details and color. The light is a bit flat but allowed for a wide dynamic range of tone and detail. The 180mm can be used for landscape photography.
Light weight and versatile fast prime lens!
