Pretty much. Having tested a couple of setups, SR is quite good up to about 4:1, vaguely useful between than and 2:1 and utterly useless beyond 2:1. I've also tried the Nikkor 105mm VR Macro with very similar results. Luckily, most of my macro work is in the 2:1-4:1 range and so I get a stop or two out of it. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
