....continued: This Danish 20kr coin (app. 3 USD) was shot with Bellows/*ist D: http://www.fotokritik.dk/visstort.html?pic=110486
This was shot with the Tokina 80-200mm, handheld: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/4773833/ Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt For non critical/artistic work like you describe, I suggest you buy a 2 x macro converter. I have the a Kenko 2 x KAX macro Teleplus MC7, which can be adjusted to different magnification from 1:1.15 to 1:20. Very nice and inexpensive. A nice tele zoom (like my Tokina 1:4.5/80-200mm) with a macro function/- range actually works pretty well too. It's for sale. BTW. They both work well with the *ist D - so does Pentax-A Bellows, BTW.

The DA16-45 works very well as a wide to normal zoom and focuses very close. Godfrey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
