Mehrdad,

I am looking at the 180/2 for candids indoors where light is low.  I
would be hand holding the lens.  Something that I started to think about
after reading Erwin's report is the extra size of the f2 over the f2.8.
Will the extra stop be eaten up by the need to use one higher shutter
speed?
