Hi, Dave,
Thanks for your comment.
As my memory, Zuiko 180.2.8 with high resolution but contrast is a bit
lower. The image is a bit soft at wide open. I do recognize it's a good lens
for portrait but it's enough good for landscape or plant shots. I wouldn't
say Zuiko 180/2.8 is not a good lens but as my photography hobby, most of
landscape & plant shots. I'd think Nikkor one is more suitable for me.
As my knowledge, ED glass is going to improve CA problem, right? I don't
think it will be more sharper if ED glass is applied.
