I think a 180 is a good lens to match with the 60 Macro Elmarit. Then after using that combination for a while, think about something in between. Like 90 Summicron, or since it looks like you like macro work (why else get a 60? besides maybe copy work) that would be an ideal lens, if you don't need more speed. But since you'll have a 90 in your M system, maybe you won't miss it too much. Or the 100 f/4 if price is a consideration. A very good lens as well. The question now, I suspect would be: "Which 180?" :-) - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
