Yeah, I know he did, and since I have no means of disproving
him, I'll have to go along. It *was* kind of qualitative, though,
not? Besides, though I did say "other than close work, I claim the
right to act in an illogical fashion (the distaff side can't have all the
fun) and factor in the ability to go where the 90 can't, i.e. up close
without aux. glass/tubes. I'm totally biased; I'm in love with the
darn thing!
C'mon, Mark, there can't be anything better than the 100mm
Makro Elmarit...can there?
