I'll be interested to see them.
I do have the Macro 90 since I feel it makes the perfect travel 90. It
gives me a good tight reproduction ratio when you need it, a bit of extra
reach when you need it, and it doesn't take up a lot of space when you don't
need it :) The adapter is also pretty small and lets me focus even more on
something if I am inclined to.
