Verdict
It was a joy to test drive the AF 180mm f/2.8 IF-ED - it's one of those
lenses that harmonized perfectly with the camera. The resolution is generally
excellent. Distortions and vignetting are not field relevant. Lateral CAs
are well controlled although you may spot purple fringing at times.
During the field tests the lens was also capable of delivering outstanding
contrast and a nice bokeh (with a bit of bokeh fringing).
