I have travelled for the first time with my 180/2.8... rather heavy, and at
times I was not too happy to have to haul it along! But it has been one of
my most used lenses. Really useful to isolate a person, or a face, in a
crowd. Crips images, nice out of focus effects.
As has been mentioned already, the lens does have some chromatic aberration
- however it was only evident in only one shot with sunlight reflections in
the water. I was photographing people bathing along ghats in the Ocean
(Dwarka, Gujarat, India), the sun was not in the field but more or less in
front of me, nice "silhouette effects" with golden frozen wavelets on the
water. I exposed for the lights and closed 1 stop. There were some strange
blue fringes on the waves on the slide (Velvia). Not too bad though.
