Who has the FA50/2.8 macro? What do you like/dislike? Compared to
other macro lenses you've tried? Any opinions on using it for

Hi Markus,
Oh, with a 500 and a 2x, the moon should be quite large in the frame. So the
metering will be close. But if I just had the mirror without the extender,
normal metering will just create a white blob for the moon. Its nice to have the
freedom to chimp, and adjust accordingly.
