With the aps factor I think 100 will be too long and far less useful than the 50. 50 seems like it would be nearly ideal...
Cant you just use manual settings with M lenses or does the camera have no lever to stop down the lens during exposure? I sure would like a clarification of what exactly it can and cannot do with K, M, and adapted screwmount lenses....

Pix please? Haven't tried it yet, won't get to with a 50mm macro, mine is the M lens. However, I do have a jolly nice A100mm macro lens that is begging for some use. William Robb
