Matti, It's a good lens that might go for $150 if you were patient. A 50mm Macro means you will get quite close to your subjects. You can use it as a walking-around-lens, but you will notice the slower f2.8.
I've got an old PUG shot that I did with it. Look under Bob Sullivan for a tulip in a diamond mat, whenever the PUG returns to life... :-( Regards, Bob S. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: is the SMC-A 50mm f:2.8 Macro any good? Opinions? And what is the going price of the lens?
