Re: [APML] Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED

Well, thanks for the answers. I tried going online right before the auction,
but my provider seems to be having problems (like every time I try going
online). Maybe my PC's fault, too, you know, blue screens, the kind of stuff
where even Bill Gates says "Whoa!". I've never seen that many "excuses" for
not getting a connection, though. 8 different error messages! In any case, I
guess I'll have to wait for the next lens. This one went for 745DM, which is
about $350.

Ulrich,

    I also have one ... the only thing about mine is that it focuses past
infinity so I put it on the moon with a split
finder to get it perfect and made a small line to mark exactly where
infinity is. At 2.8 I get a bit of a hot spot, at 4 it is literally
perfect... great lens.
