Hi Jim and all,

You're welcome. I'm more of a 35-40mm person than a 50-60mm, but I usually
like 'standard' macro lenses on SLRs because of the shorter focus throw.
Anyway, I'll try to avoid any shorter lens for the R4... I do prefer
rangefinders for those focal lengths ;-)

Being into Astrophotography, this lens is particularly acclaimed -- the
relative lightness is indeed a plus. I have borrowed the APO-Elmarit 180/2.8
and the Angenieux 180/2.3 APO -- very fine lenses, but I prefer to sacrifice
some aperture for the lower weight and superb aberration correction, esp.
wide open... and less steep price!
That Telyt 250/4 seems very nice... I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
