I have to say that the 180 Elmarit is great for people, though our district manager thought it too sharp, and showed too many wrinkles when I did a couple of 'candids' in the store. It's funny, but that lens is what got me interested in Leica! A friend taught me to do weddings twenty years ago, and he used a 180 and SL for candids at the receptions- they rivalled the quality of the 'blads he used for the wedding. I always used 'blads for everything, but when I quit doing weddings I sold them, and wanted an outfit for doing the kids. I got a Leica SL and the basic 35/50/135mm lenses.... never did get a 180 until this year! I shoulda hadda oughta done it sooner! It is so...crisp and sharp I have almost quit using the 135! Anyway, love your work, and hope to meet you some day! Dan'l dwpost@msn.com
