As far as I know it's the only true macro zoom lens ever made by anyone. I took photos of the same flower with the same lens and filled the frame with just one of the buds. I'll put up a couple full frame close-ups I took with the same lens. I have had the set of AF Kenko tubes for years but only use them once or twice a year now. I didn't use a polarizer for this photo. Regards, Len On Jan 14, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Bob Adler wrote: > Hi Leonard. > These are very lovely.
