I only know about two of the lenses you mention. the Tokina ATX 100-300 is a great lens but does not focus close. The Vivitar Series One 90-180 is a true macro and maybe the sharpest zoom ever made. Gaurav Aggarwal wrote: Hi all, I have been reading the posts for around 5-6 months now. I have

Is anybody selling anything that will meet my requirements? I saw Wendy is selling the A 70-210 f/4. Maybe that will be good since I bought my ME Super from her :-) The macro feature of this lens can get you pretty close, but the image quality is not good. Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan
