Ah!  You've got the 280/4 APO!  I've been fascinated with that lens since its
introduction, given the claims that it skates very close to the theoretical 
limits of optical perfection within the bounds prescribed by its focal length 
and aperture, but I hadn't run across anyone who actually *owned* the thing.  
Do you have any comments on it?  I note that it's not on the list of things up 
for trade...
