As a dedicated M user I´m thinking about changing my SLR gear from >Nikon to Leica; the 80-200 might be my first R lens if optical performance >is OK. Hi Carsten, Only thing I can say is, "GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!" :) The 80-200 is one of the underated Leica lenses. I shot with one this past spring and was very surprised at the sharpness and overall quality. And if I didn't already own the 70-180 2.8 I'd have the 80-200. Wide open it is quite incredible. I shot some frames showing my grand daughter's eye & eyelashes and you could count them on E100 slide film!!! It's an excellent lens. ted
