Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages >> The 180/3.4 APO represents excellent value, in the range of $700-900, especially if you already have the APO 2x, which Leica recommends for use with this lens. You would have a very compact 360/6.8 APO, with reputedly extremely fine image quality for a rig of this type. Joe Sobel
