I also like the fact that at f2 it's a great portrait lens. It doesn't focus quite as fast as the Nikon 60 on my D5000 but the difference is minimal. And for macro I always use manual focus anyway, I find it easier and more accurate. Just focus and lean in and out. I always figured if anybody saw me shooting macro they'd think I'd had a little too much wine;-) Jim On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 9:46 PM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: > Hi Jim, > > The look is quite similar to what I get with the Leica Elmarit-R 60/2.8 > Macro on the E-1. ?I like it. > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Laird" <digiratidoc at gmail.com> > To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 9:38 PM > Subject: Re: [Leica] Flower Every So Often > > >> Jim, >> >> Thanks.
