Hi All, 

Roger asked:

<< f4/180 Elmar R
 
 Any comments + or - on this lens? >>

I had one of these in the late 80's. It is a good, sharp, and compact optic,
fully usable at f4.0. The only drawback is the lens exhibited significant
pincushion distortion, a problem only with architectural snaps.

Later,
