I second this - it is a great lens (so is the 100)  I sure wouldn't give it up
for
a third party zoom...

I would have to agree with Robert, one of the best 50mm lenses out there,
macro or not.

Get rid of 50mm macro

2003-10-21 Thread Ramesh Kumar
I have two macros 50mm & 100mm.
I do not use macro feature of 50mm and using it as
regular lens. I am planning to replace this with some
non-macro 50mm lens or Tokina 28-80/mm f2.8 zoom.
By doing this, am I loosing anything other than macro
feature?



Thanks
Ramesh
