@Lahnet Unfortunatelly NO.

Wide open not every copy perform same good. Only two of them really sharp at wide open, but above wide open they are pretty much same.

How to compare Tamron SP 180mm f2.5 ? My opinion is very subjective for sure, I prefer this old lenses above any other 180mm lens except Carl Zeiss 180mm f2.8 MM Contax. I can't choice between them.
