when that candid happened a bit too far for the Noctilux to reach.  The
nice thing about the 180 is that you don't have to be in the kids face
to get a nice tight shot."

The 180/2 is a fabulous lens, but it's *huge* for its f/l.

I really can't imagine using it in this way, it's just going to be *way* too
intimidating.
