so B.D. is willing to claim the 180 ED is at least as good as the 180 APO,
despite never having used the APO.  I haven't given the 180 ED a decent
workout or test yet, and I haven't used the 180 f/2.8 APO so I'll reserve
judgement until I can make an objective comparison.  Meanwhile for $159 I
won't complain about the ED lens.
