Would the 80 or 90 >be a better choice? To assume that flatness of field is somehow a problem is a mistaken notion. All lens makers make their lenses as flat of field as possible. It's just with Macros, it's more important than otherwise. But that doesn't mean that it's any less important with other lenses. They just have to balance that against other things. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch I get enough exercise just pushing my luck.
