Depends on high of a magnifaction I want to go.  Although I would
like to have the 200mm Pentax, I use the 90-180/4.5 VS1 for normal
macro, but for high mag stuff I like to use the VS1 90/2.5 with the 1:1
adapter and the
VS1 28/1.9 reversed on the front. I found a 58mm male to 58mm male
thread thingy on ebay.
I hate to admit it, but it is an awesome setup.

The FD-1 magni-Finder is a joy to focus. It isn`t a neccesity
though.

Take more macro shots. Experiment with flash, and multi flash.
