So I bought the 60mm macro, and today I picked up a "user" (nice glass but some cosmetic wear) f2.8/180mm Elmarit at a nice low price. Any opinions of this lens? Another lens I would really like is one of the shift (PC) lenses. I lust after the 28mm but it is soo expensive. A MUCH cheaper solution appears to be the 35mm PA Curtagon. I realise that the Curtagon is less useful than a 28mm and has less shift capabilities as far as I can tell. I would still love to hear from someone who has used this lens. Is it worth buying, or should I wait until I can afford the 28mm?
