The 60/2.8 also goes to 1:2 without the supplied extension for 1:1 and balances beautifully for hand-held shots on the SL. The 60/2.8 does a great job with textures. If you get hooked, fit a ground glass screen to your SL or other R camera. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/SL-Macro/LUG149?full=1> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/SL-Macro/LUG154?full=1> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/SL-Macro/LUG160?full=1> William At 08:43 AM 2/2/2006 -0500, you wrote: >At 04:57 AM 2/2/2006, you wrote: >>Thanks much.
