But, unless you need that extra stop and predictably smaller size 
& weight, Tom, don't overlook the APO-Macro-Elmarit-R 
f/2.8/100mm. Absolutely stunning images and that closeup ability 
w/o accessories is super handy.  

Of course, for general snapping around, the size and weight *are* 
a factor.

           EQUALITY:
   Prosperity or egalitarianism--you have to choose.
   I favor freedom--you never achieve real equality anyway;
   you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.
