Some macros are. Probably the 90s are not. with sufficient depth of field you can overcome this, but a flat field lens, such as enlarger lenses, would be best, in my experience. Maybe (maybe? most assurredly!) a LUG member will know what, if any, R lens(es) is (are) flat field. Donal Philby San Diego
