Firt of all thanks for all your feedback.
The thing is that I'd like to have a shot at some more telephotgraphy, but I
honestly don't know if it is my game. Therefore I am not too eager in investing
around $500 in something I might not like, and Oh BTW is claimed to be
not as good as it should.
The Tamron could be a cheaper opportunity (with possibly even better optical
quality) to get aquiainted with fast tele primes.
But it is so UGLY, and it doesn't feed any Zuikoholoc need, whereas the
180/2.8 has a certain cuddlyness....
Oh well, perhaps I should lie still, be patient and hope that either of the
itches
(fast 180 and Big Glass Zuiko) wear off.
Sigh.
