     Hans,
     
     Whatever the camera and lens, and whatever their "worth" on the used 
     market, the pictures are splendid.

I will not argue that Leica all lenses have a similar color, and are the 
very best. But I see nothing wrong with the bokeh of the Nikkor 180/2,8 
pictures I just published at http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-24872/karro.htm
All pictures were shot by my daughter Karolina. I borrowed her an old F3/MD4 
and an even older non-ED 180/2,8 because of the African dust. She went with 
my wife for a story about Massaimara in Kenya. I think the pix are quite 
impressive for a lens worth $300 on the used market. Film was Fuji Velvia.
