The Macro-Elmarit-R 60/2.8 is tack sharp at all distances, it is a truly universal lens and should be considered as a standard lens, except if you need a wider aperture than 2.8. The lens is considered to be the standard among macro lenses, but the Nikkor AI-S 55/2.8 and the newer AF-Nikkor 60/2.8 should be almost as good, that is to say: excellent, for a lot less money. The "Leica curse" in some way :-) Pascal - -------------------------------------------------------- Check out: http://members.xoom.com/cyberplace/ - -------------------------------------------------------- An Apple a day keeps greedy Microsoft away ! - -------------------------------------------------------- <<< PGP public key available on request >>>
