this is wonderful - is pristine the term? and delicate altogether.

Jsut one question: why not use an Elmarit macro on the 5D? I mean, 
you're using a kind of Heath Robinson home made contraption of yours , 
just to use the Summarit 1.5, what's so exceptional with that lens if I 
may ask

Thanks in anticipation
