The 1:2 I feel is a major drawback for this lens.  As soon as you get 1:2
you're going to want 1:1.

Tom, you should seriously consider the Sigma 180/3.5.  The prices has come
down since I bought one.  I did a review and it is a nice lens.  I'm not
saying it has better optiacal or build quality than the 180/2.8.  I've never
owned or used the 2.8 so I dont know which is better.  But the the 3.5 if
built well and has good optical quality.  I paid nearly $800 for mine.
Delta Int has them for about $540, (aughhhhhhhhhhhhh!),  ;- ).
Here is my review:
