Subject: [Leica] 180 comparisons

Rev'd. Cason  asked about the Angenieux DEM 180mm 2.3 APO.

I have one in a Nikon mount. The build quality is no match for Leica (or 
Nikon!). The one I have is fairly sharp but not all that contrasty. I don't 
use it much because I rarely need that length of lens, and I rarely use the 
Nikons anyway. The nearest Leica glass I can compare it to is the 135 
Apo-Telyt-M, but that is no contest.

Regards,
Malcolm
