However, I already own the 180 f2.8 apo & admire its qualities ;-)! It's just that the Apo Telyt might lend itself a *little* more to hand held work with its lessor weight. Does anyone know how the Apo Telyt would compare in quality to the 180 f2.8 apo? In particular, at closer distances, as I would not be using it for infinity work. I know that I should ignore the *siren* call of another Leica lens; particularly, a focal length which is identical to what I already have. Still, I'm curious as to how it compares & would it be light enough to make a *difference* for hand held work? Tom D.
