This IS a very popular focal length. And one of the oldest teles, no? Wasn't the Zeiss Olympic Sonnar, or whatever it's called, go way back into the 20s? They're light and compact (not counting the f/2) and seem to be very popular with Press Photographers. After using a big 2.8 zoom for about three years now, I'm impressed with how light and compact the 180 Elmarit is. And the image quality, nothing to sneeze at. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Maintenance-free: When it breaks, it can't be fixed
