How true, I wish the *lenses weren't so expensive they really are outstanding lenses but like you said you have take a second morgage to purchase.

thanks for the insight on the macro lenses, sounds like the 100mm is the way to go.

Thanks

The 100mm is a better choice for taking pictures of creepy crawly things that fly away when you get too close.

The FA* 200mm f/4 Macro would be even better, but my wife won't let me mortgage the house to buy one.
