> The Panagor 55mm f/2.8 macro Same as hr-cr used for his
> flutterby shots ;-)
Ah, this is the same as the Vivitar 55mm macro I have. It's a _nice_ lens;
light, sharp, and very, for want of a better word, useful. It's a good lens
cap if you want to wander around taking photos of nature; it'll go close up
enough to do nice tight macro shots, but still works as a 50mm equivalent.
Nice bokeh, too. I'm occasionally tempted by the 90mm versions that float
past on e*ay [1], but I'm not sure that portrait->macro is as useful a
transition as normal->macro.

There's also the new ones:

but I don't think they're the same thing at all.
