I don't want to leave the impression that I am finding fault with the 
Elmarit-R 60/2.8 Macro.  When used as it was designed to be used, it is 
capable of great images. It took me a little while to realize how it was 
intended to be used. The limited DOF when up close means that this range is 
useful only for flat, or relatively flat subjects.  This suncatcher on our 
kitchen window is captured in great detail in the image below. The details 
in the glass are very good. I have tried this with other lenses and never 
got it as nice as this.
