Nope, the 180 Apo Summicron F/2 is the best 180, if you can carry it (not to mention pay for it!). But it's a great lens. And don't let the f/3.4 put you off. According to the Leica Photography (New York) that introduced the lens, they claimed that it's so efficient with light that it's closer to a 2.8 lens than one might suspect. Let us know how you like it! ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch He doesn't have much of a reputation, or so I've heard.
