It is a superb lens, and has been one of the outstanding 180-200 mm lenses for more than a decade. I often wonder why it is necessary for folks on this list to denigrate top equipment from other manufacturers - does it somehow help justify the money tied up in Leica equipment? I don't get it. I love my Ms. And I love my Nikon gear. B.D.
