Tom,
What I noticed is that it looks like it was set-up for a cover shot. That
is, I can easily visualize where they would put in the magazine title, story
names, etc, (all that lettering) as the left hand side of the picture and
upper part lack some detail. I might be mistaken, but I think
Well, now, amazing as it must seem, the grand prize winner in popular

Hey,
I saw in today's newspaper an ad from a camera dealer selling optio 300's,
they were pushing its small size, and they had a picture of a ant climbing
up a tree with the camera in its mandibles! Kind of cute. The caption
reads Photo is a modest exaggeration. Anyone else seen anything
as is, and comes with an optical
adapter
that takes it to 1:1. It's one of the sharpest lenses I've ever seen. They
turn
up on ebay from time to time and usually sell for well under $200.

I was hoping that the friendly folks on the list could help me decide on a
macro lens, roughly in the 100 mm range, prefer 1:1 but 1:2 okay.
I would like to take casual portraits with it and an occasional macro shot.
My main concern is optical quality.

Delano,
I use the Alden 74 which is pretty popular and easy to acquire. I load the
cassettes in the dark so there is no waste of film. It is fairly easy to do
once you do it a few times.

A few months ago Phototechnique or 35mm Photo ( one of those magazines)
