Besides, why would you buy *both* the 180/2.0 and the 180/2.8? And if $5395 is insane for a 180/2.0, B&H quotes the following: Canon 200/1.8 $4159 Contax 200/2.0 $7099 Nikon 200/2.0 $4625 (manual focus) Reality check for Contax, anyone? ;) M. - -- Martin Howard | Visiting Scholar, CSEL, OSU | What boots up must come down. email: howard.390@osu.edu | www: http://mvhoward.i.am/ +---------------------------------------
