Here's some questions/thoughts. Please comment.

Is this a feature at the expense of overall performance?
Are the results any good?
Seems like they are too slow/dark viewfinder to focus accurately.
Why would you want a 300 macro? Seems like 135 would be plenty.
Wouldn't a 50 macro+tube or 85/2+tube, etc. be better?
Or even a tube on any close focusing lens. (Maybe I ought to experiment
with the 35-70/3.5-4.5)

As you can see I'm a little dubious of the value of this feature.

Mike
