But, unless you need that extra stop and predictably smaller size
& weight, Tom, don't overlook the APO-Macro-Elmarit-R
f/2.8/100mm. Absolutely stunning images and that closeup ability
w/o accessories is super handy.
Of course, for general snapping around, the size and weight *are*
a factor.

EQUALITY:
Prosperity or egalitarianism--you have to choose.
I favor freedom--you never achieve real equality anyway;
you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.
