For non critical/artistic work like you describe, I suggest you buy a 2 x macro converter. I have the a Kenko 2 x KAX macro Teleplus MC7, which can be adjusted to different magnification from 1:1.15 to 1:20. Very nice and inexpensive. A nice tele zoom (like my Tokina 1:4.5/80-200mm) with a macro

Thanks, Bob. There is arabic writing in the green part of the glass, so my guess too, is that it dates from the Byzantine period. The Crusades may be a bit early, but it's certainly possible. I'm sure there's some hard facts to be found about it somewhere on the web too, but tonight I'm too

Thanks Dave, one other thing that really surprised me about the light down there was that the light after sunset doesn't have the clear deep blueness we get up here. The transition to black night was through more grittish (if that's a real word...) colours. Jostein - Original Message -
