Nope!  However, they *are* crops of larger shots.  

That said, I think it's a testament to the quality of the 135mm APO and Portra
160 that the images hold up so well.  I know from experience that Portra 400
can't take the same level of crops without showing a lot of film grain.

There are times when I think real seriously about getting back into using an SLR,
specifically for macro and very long glass work.  But each time I decide not to,
as my back just cannot take the stress of carrying gear that is any heavier than
what I'm currently using.  I'm at the borderline right now as it is; any heavier
and I'll have to pull a wagon [no joke].

Regards,

/Mitch
