thanx for the info. as for the owner's manual, heck, i haven't seen it in
years!!! :)
i would suspect, from what you said, that a dedicated macro lense will be
out of my price range, as this is just an occassional hobby. i currently am
using a 28-200 Tokina with macro capabilites, but it consumes too much light
and the macro isn't very good. what other options do i have in the way of
more limited zooms and telephotos with macro cabilities better than 1:5
?????
thanx
