Lluis,

Thanks for the very kind words.  I only know the 100mm from casual words 
dropped now and again, and I suspect it is the APO that draws such 
compliments.  I bought the 60 from the daughter of its late owner, and 
she said that her father used it primarily for flowers.  I have been 
quite happy with it for flowers, and for insects as well, if they are 
not too active.
