I did try this lens - nice and light. I subsequently bought my back-breaking 70-200VR2 instead. If I did buy the 180 the zoom would get even fewer outings, methinks.
The 180's bokeh is very pleasant. One off-putting feature is that changing from close focus to far focus involves a second or two of the screwdriver focus spinning very audibly, makes this excellent optic seem a little 'steam-driven'.
Whilst an AFS update seems like a good idea, one could predict an eye-watering price - so perhaps best left alone!
