Subject: [Leica] Character of 180mm
From: "David Strang" <dstrang@up.net>

I'll be looking a Leica 180mm R lens this fall.

Does anyone have information comparing the:

- -    180mm f2.8
- -    180mm f2.8 APO
- -    180mm f2.0 APO
- -    200mmf1.8EOS/FD Canon

I was hoping to learn how they compare optically? The Leica propaganda isn't
much help. I once saw a lens test page that compared many Leica, Canon, Nikon,
etc. I would be interested how the Leica 180f2 compares to the Canon 200f1.8
(EOS/FD).


Thanks,

Dave Strang
