Howard,


I agree on the performance of the 180/3.4 APO. ?I read somewhere, that it is 
only now being surpassed by the 180/2 APO lens, which is quite a testament 
to its design. ?I got mine right after I picked up the DMR in Cologne. ?My 2 
big purchases while in Germany, both in Cologne. ?;-)


As to the 2 photos, I'm sure the conditions had a big influence on the 
colors etc. ?Both are great shots.


Cheers,
Gene
