Hi Doug,

How do you like the Novoflex?  I was reading about these yesterday.  German 
made, right?  VERY sharp in the middle, with the disadvantage of falling off 
drastically on the edges - mainly designed for tight crops from what I've 
read (at least the higher magnification lenses).  In your photo, even the 
edges that are in focus seem to be sharp though.

One question - What's the Tamron connection?  I wasn't aware of one from the 
limited reading on Novoflex I've done.

The setup's on my "wish list", so I'll be eager to see your forthcoming 
photos as I determine just where on my list it really is.  Enjoy!  :-)

Jeff M
