But the 60mm macro becomes a 120mm which does make it easier on my backside. Haven't tried the 105mm macro or the other lenses but expect good results. I have the 28-70 (56-140) zoom on it today... even with this lens I should get decent photos 'cause the camera is certainly using the sweet spot in the center. The biggest con with the E-510 so far is that it's certainly not as intuitive to use as my Pentax isDS or K10D.
