It was one of my first two Leica lenses back in '81, and I've always thought it was an outstanding lens. The first thing I photographed with it was singer Amy Grant. Maybe it was her (what a babe!) but it was those pictures I first saw that made me say, "So this is what Leica users are talking about!" But I like 180s better. Not because of optical performance, but because of the length. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
