In German the word is much more positive than is generally inferred in English. Be that as it may, I'm also disappointed with the turn of events and if a suitable digital body for R lenses isn't on the near horizon when it's time to replace the DMR, I'll be looking at other brands. I'm not going back to film. FWIW, in my experience the 180 APO David is selling is a stellar lens. Brilliantly sharp & no bad habits. The two things that would improve it IMHO are a bit more resistance in the focussing ring and a built-in rotating tripod collar.
