The A50/2.8 macro is a superb lens and well priced, the close working distance will not scare away your subjects nor make lighting problematic. If you are managing with the 18-55 then the A50/2.8 is probably a good option, I have used it extensively for the same style of photography that you are engaged in. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9304908/productshots.jpg -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
