I'll grant the Macro Zoom by Nikon is cool, but really useful? Hmmm...for some nature photographers I'm sure. Looks like Nikon's catching up pretty good. Once they catch up with what Canon has been doing for years, they get it pretty right. ;-) To bring it back on topic, Leica has a pretty nice Macro system too. And superior optics to boot in the 100 range. Why is it people don't find that compelling enough to get the 100 Apo Macro and an R body? That alone would justify picking up an R6 I would think. It's not like Autofocus has any value in macro work. It doesn't. Period. Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.jphotog.com Ernest Hemingway's writing reminds me of the farting of an old horse. - - E.B.
