If you can find one, the Sigma APO 400/5.6 Macro in Pentax AF mount can go down to about 1:3, which works out to a meter or two, if I remember correctly. I got mine just after they were discontinued. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
