So I could just crop the FF and get the same result. Still Oly lacks
longer range macros. Maybe there is a 100mm now?? but there
was none for quite some time.
I had the Zuiko 135/4.5 but it was cumbersome to use with the auto tube
and I never really got good results with it myself. Nothing to compare with
the Nik*n 200mm or Sigm* 180 or Can*n 180 in usability. At least with
those lenses you could easily use them as a lens at infinity. The Zuiko 90mm
was the only long range macro Oly made that was a self a contained
lens, and only 1:2 at that. I just think Oly lacks in this department.
