Yes. He swears by it. I like more color and contrast of Leica. You can choose whatever works for you.

Some old lens test archive

FWIW, he seems to like harsh, in-your-face bokeh. Not sure if this applies to the 200/1.8L.

The 280/2.8 tests well in the link provided.
It's 1/2 the price of the 180/2.
The 280/4 is too slow. The 250 too old.

The 200/1.8L has great bokeh. I also think its old photodo rating was something like 4.6?
