just ran a quick test with a few lenses:
A50/1.7 (+tc)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (+tc)
100/2.5 VC1 macro
the tc is viv. 2x macro
and results srprise me quite a bit.
(1) 16-45 has significantly more contrast than 50/1.7,
(2) even with a tc it's approaching a dedicated macro lens
(3) every lens outresolves the sensor significantly.

if anyone cares to see the files, let me know.

best,
mishka
