I've owned both the 180 3.4 and Summicron APO lenses,
Both are fantastic.  Only downside to the 3.4 is the
close focusing distance.  Upside is the (relatively)
light weight.  It was designed for night surveilance
photography, so it is optimum or near so wide open! 
You DEFINITELY will want to pick up the original 2x
extender, and don't spend the extra $$ on the newer
APO converter for this lens, as the original extender
was designed with the 3.4 lens.  You will have an
excellent 360 6.8 for an extra 200-250!  Again, don't
be afraid to shoot it wide open, even with the
extender!  ........

That is very useful advice. Many thanks. Chris
