Steve, I did this for a while on a Super Program some years ago. I gave it up eventually, as the 2.8 seemed dark, and not as easy to focus as the A50 f1.4.
I kept the lens and took this picture some time later... http://pug.komkon.org/00sep/00sept/diamond.html Regards, Bob S.

I used to use an A50 1.7, but I often find myself wanting that snail or flower close-up. Does anyone else here do this, and if so how well has it worked?<<
