180-200mm options?

Ok Samuli, olka hyvään. Or how you say it.

Double vocal in wrong place - Olkaa hyvä - Var så god in Swedish I still faintly remember from school.

The Sonnar 135 is a fine lens but I think it lacks the snap of the very best lenses.

Both Sonnar 3.5/100 and 2.8/100 I purchase based on what I have heard about their bokeh and Zeiss look, I don\'t assume 3.5/100 is sharper than Makro-Planar ;-) neither I think 2.8/135 is sharper than 135L - but let\'s see what I find out from them when I start to shoot with them.

The Planar 200/3.5 bokeh is ok compared to other Planars but is not as sharp as the shorter focal length Planars, in my opinion. Ffordes has a two week return policy, no questions asked. Steve is a gentleman.

200/3.5 is not planar design - it\'s Tele-Tessar, see:

Good to hear that Fforbes is OK, I have not yet ordered anything from there. Some items seem pretty cheap there, e.g. APO-Telyt 180/3.4 are below £350.

I think the lenses you are going for might be the ticket I too am tempted by the Leica 80-200/4. I would actually use it a lot I think.

I\'ll let you know how I like it when I have shoot a little with it.
