Now that so much reprographic work is done with scanners rather than on film, I would guess that most macro lenses are bought for nature photography where longer lenses in the range 90mm to 200mm seem to be preferred. The macro "normal" lens could be pushed into extinction by computers. Regards, Anthony Farr - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
