Looks like the 90/4 might do the trick for my modest magnification needs, but not the most "ergonomic" option. I'm reluctant to start a new small format camera system, but it seems a used SL and the Leica 60 is a reasonably priced combo I could just dedicate to the macro jobs. The 100 APO seems by all accounts to be like a superb lens, but even used will likely blow my budget. Loved the pics. William's lighting was so wonderful, I wonder if this "painterly rendition" is reprentative of the 60's overall performance. Lots to consider. Thanks so much!
