have you ever compared your A 200/4 ED macro lens with 105mm Nikkor or
Canon 100mm or 200mm macro Nikkor/4?
Do you think Pentax glass is better?
Have not used the other brands - from what I've seen, the Pentax 200mm
macros are among the best
Thanks, Ken, glad you like them!
I wound up going with the extension setup after trying a variety of stacked

Amazing.
Once upon a time, fellows of Penta Club discussed how one could grow

Hi, Mike and Mark,
I have a friend who's a children's librarian at the Toronto Public Library. If such
a book exists, my guess is that she'll know of it.
I've sent her an e-mail, and I'll let you (and the list) know if she's familiar with
it.

Thanks Frank. He's hand-raised, you know--I brought him home at age 5 days
with exactly nine hours warning, and have raised him by myself since then.
It's to his credit, therefore, that he's turned out to be such a super guy.
