Thanks Chuck, Moose, CH, Nathan,
No news is good news. Perhaps JH will chime in. The price of this lens
really has fluctuated. It was listed at $800 USD at KEH less than 2 years
ago,
now I see one
at 300 in EX condition. Jeff grabbed one for cheap on yabe and sold it to
me at cost, though it benefited from a CLA with John and has been fine. Not
sure what these reports on FM are about--rear element issue. I checked mine
last night--seems OK.
I totally forgot a similar Tokina existed until Moose mentioned it. I think
the Zuiko
goes to 1:5 thereabouts at the 250 mm. I remember CH bokeh tests and the Z.
50-250 which can be busy, and can't say I've ever tried a macro with it.
Perhaps at that FL the bokeh will be better. I usually have a macro lens with
me, but I have on rare occasion been caught short--errr, should say long.
Dean likes the Tam SP 60-300 on the autotube for a butterfly kit.
Mike
