Generally agreed, but with exceptions. For uses that don't require great
linearity and perfect focus out at the periphery, there are a couple of
zooms with outstanding macro capability. the Tamron SP 60-300 goes to
1:1.55 and the Tokina AT-X 50-250 goes to 1:1.4. Both are quite good
optically at these ratios for the usual 3D macro shots
Yes, and there is one of the Tokina AT-X lenses on ebay now for a little
over $100 BIN. Temptation was there, however I need to be thinning a little
to
make room for another digital Zuiko or perhaps the 90mm
Schneider/Nikkor/Fujinon for my 4X5. Hmmm, why was I looking? Bill Barber
