Don'thave one. I use a FA 1.4/50mm, a M 1.7/50mm, M 2.8/35mm or a A 2.8/28mm - preferably reversed on Bellows A. I use my adjustable (1:2-1:20) "KENKO 2X KAX Macro TELEPLUS MC7" converter combined with the FA 1.4/50mm. Mostly for repro work, rather than macro stuff. And occationally I use zoom lenses with macro settings (the recent refconverter shot). I'd love to have a 100mm f.4, though.

Correction; it's actually the A, not the M, that I have, and that is a better bet for the DSLRs, though optically the same as the M.
