I\'ve been there and done that with all the 180-200mm\'s, except the Leica APO\'s. What I have now is the Sigma 180/2.8 APO macro (in a very rare Nikon AI-S manual focus version), and an Angenieux 180/2.3 APO. Both are spectacular.
The best I found before those was the Nikon 180/2.8 AIS ED. The Leica 180/3.4 is also a nice sharp lens but has ugly bokeh (perfect in the pic above which has no backgroound , and too much vignetting wide open.
