are you talking about the 180/2.8 here? now where did that so-so
designation come from? i have one and it is a great lens for those low
light situations and even for portraiture. my impression of the 180/2.8
was that it was an advanced design for it's time and still remains at
par with contmporary designs altho now there are a lot of APO designs
out there. just my two cents worth
