Hi Michael,
I don´t know this Nikkor lens but I can tell you Zuiko 180/2,8 isn´t
soft at all. I worked a lot with this lens and I am still waiting for
the new Zuiko Digital 90/2 for my E-1 and my new forthcoming E-3. I love
this focal lenght. Everybody thinks ED is always required for getting
sharper results!!! Wrong! It depens on the focal lenght, number of
elements, etc... OM Zuiko 90/2 hasn´t got any ED element and no other
lens on the earth can beat it!
I have scanned some pictures with my LS-4000 ED and my Ektachrome E-100S
slides were razor sharp!!! Bokeh is charming!
You have some thumbs here:

Hope you like them.
Regards,
Dave
pd: IMHO Nikkor lenses can´t beat Zuiko lenses at same price.
