On the *ist D wouldn't a 50mm 1:1 Macro lens be roughly equivilent to a 75mm 1.5:1 on a 35mm? Or, put another way: To achieve 1:1 couldn't you be 1.5x farther away? I don't mean to, and hope I won't, start the equiv./crop factor/mag. factor/DOF wars again! It just seems to me that a 90 or 100 macro would actually be rather long on the D. Not having very steady hands I wonder if I could hand hold a longer lens properly?

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
