I like shooting macros, but I don't always want to go out with my macro lens. My theory is, if I find one that will do in a pinch, I won't have to lug my macro around "just in case"—saving it for when I'm going out specifically to shoot small things. The Pentax, btw, is a dog compared to the Nikon. Probably the advantage of a two-element lens over a single. Dan Scott
