In reply:
Would like to eventually replace the 200/4 with the 180/2.8 on the long
end, and may eventually pick up a 21/2 on the short end
I have one of each available for you :) The 21/2 because I have two and the
180/2.8 because I will replace it soon with the much raved about 180/2.
BTW, try using your 18mm more (e.g. for a second shot after the 21mm) and
critically looking at the results. Granted, it is a difficult lens to use
because of its very radical perspective. I must deliberately check any
prominent vertical or horizonatal lines very carefully. As with many of
the radical long and short focal lengths, success comes with experience
looking through it and using it.

I don't actually have an 18mm f3.5 but one is available to me for the
highish price of $700 US. For that reason its low on my priorities for
acquisition. I also must get out and make more time to actually take more
photos. I may visit the ADITL site and see what the shooting schedule is. I
have some interesting ideas for the next TOPE and I've surveyed a few
locations and what I will use to capture them on my favorite emulsion.
(You inspired me with the TOPE 6, so much so I'm going to try the 7mm
extension tube with the 21mm f2 and see what that is capable of.)
