It is supposed to be a marvelous performer optically. BNut unless you project slides on a very large screen or make 14x17 or bigger prints, you will probably never see the difference. Since you have been satisfied with your 180/4, you likely don't need the speed of an f/2,8 lens and like the compact size of the f/4. Why not look for a really clean pre-owned 180/4? They are around and will save you a helluva lot of money. If you think you might want/need the extra stop in speed, I have the last version 180/2,8 Elmarit in mint, almost like-new condition, that I may be selling as I use this focal length very seldom. Whatever you decide, good luck. Seth Rosner LaK 9 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
