Hi Len,

I love the colour of the lilies; I've seen that rust colour and it's 
very special.

The write-up is interesting since I had a chance to use one of those 
lenses for a while some years ago when it was in production. There 
was another macro-zoom, the Vivitar 90-180mm Flat Field, with 
somewhat lesser specs but also outstandingly sharp, but rather large 
and heavy. It was made by Kiron, as were most of Vivitar's best 
lenses.
