It's cheap(ish), light, at a 75mm equivalent should work reasonably well for macro on the smaller format, and also provides a usefull 'fast' lens as part of a lightweight kit with two f4 zooms at the short and long end. If you are seriously into macro there are all sorts of good toys to play with - just like a meccano set. But for carrying around something simple is best. Actually, don't bother taking the macro shots - just collect the rings, adapters, bellows and extension tubes :-) > Without offense or possible disrespect to others, I'd like those of > you who do shoot macro often give me your opinions... > > For now, I am going to attach my M 50/1.4 to the tubes and make it > kinda macro-only lens.
