Re: [OM] OM 180mm F2.8 opinions

[Mike Gordon via olympus]

At the risk of heresy may I suggest the Cosina Voigtländer SL 
APO-Lanthar 180mm f/4 SL which is available in OM mount.  One can put 
it in a pocket and is tack sharp wide open with
essentially no discernible CA.  It excels at medium and close distances 
 (Very good, but less impressive at infinity) and natively goes to 1:4. 
I love to use it for critters on a bit of extension to
keep a large working distance.  Only thing in that FL range more 
compact is the Zuiko 200/5 which seems to be a bit tough to find in MC 
variety though I haven';t looked in awhile. Oh, the bokeh on the
CV is super at many background distances (not all).  Did I say it is 
small?
