Well, to answer Wayne's question, no I do not presently own any macro
lens. When I bought the DMC-L1 kit, I did help fund that purchase
through the disposition of a 50/3.5. For macro work, I generally use
the 100/2.8 with extension tubes or even the 200/4 with extension. The
50/2 and 90/2 are drool-worthy lenses, which I've had the pleasure of
playing with, but were never high enough up on the "needs list" to
justify wrapping up that much money. Inotherwords, I've operated on
the principle of multiple tier-2 lenses, vs. one or two tier-1 lenses.
Seeing Dawid's 90/2 shots, I'm getting more and more to the point of
making it on my short list, though.
As to taking a macro lens on this trip, I'm not sure I have visions
right now of what to photograph with it. It's severely wintertime so
flowers and bugs are a bit limited. Although, there are plenty of
other vegitation and detail items to photograph. Hmm....
OK, you got me to thinking...
