We'd welcome user comments on this lens. Currently using 105 AFD and 200 AFD Micros, but for field use, this lens would appear to be very versatile and would negate quite a lot of weight..... important! We rarely work at 1:1, mostly around 1:2 ...... comparisons with our current lenses would be welcome. Obviously, the fixed lenses will have the edge - but how much? Thanks. Andy C. Highfield
