I've owned and used a couple Nikon 180s, but I have also owned and used all
of the Leica 180s in the 2.8 variation. (Old - 1968 vintage that weighs
like the Titanic's anchor, and three new ones.) I'll take the Leicas over
the Nikons any day.

Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
