I have heard that the 180/3.4 blows it out of the water resolution-wise, though.<< I received a mint 180/2.8 last Saturday, shot three frames with it when the iris broke (stopped down and could not be opened back up). I sent it back the same day. I had the chromes processed on Monday. The 180/2.8 wasn't near as sharp as I though it should be, definitely not on par with my 90/2.8 R. As a result, when I called to discuss replacing the lens with Tamarkin on Tuesday I requested that a new 180/3.4 Apo ROM be sent instead. As I understand things the 180/3.4 is the best of the 180's, though a bit slow. I hope to find out for myself soon. Don _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
