Maybe, but any one of the dozen, or so, dual, range "cron's I had
could kick its butt even on Ektachrome (which was God's curse on
photography), never mind Kodachrome.
I had two samples of the Micro-Nikkor, and none of them stood up to a
late model DR.
I used to shoot artist portfolios in college. When word got around of
the slide quality, It was an open flood gate of comers. I had so much
word of mouth traffic, I wound up pulling my ad from the back of an
art magazine.
