Once I tried to photograph a tiny butterfly with it, as the creature flitted from clover to clover, and get a big oak tree in the background at F/22 with ISO 100 film. (Okay, so I was desperate for a new angle on an weak subject to begin with!) Almost got it, but it makes a poor macro lens for a butterfly with only a centimeter wing span! :-) Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch (001) Logic Error CLINTON.SYS: Truth table missing
