Hi Folks,

Oh I overlooked to mention.

You remember those marvellous butterfly macro shots taken hand-held in a 
French garden  that I posted on the internet 4 - 6 months ago? Many people, 
as far as I could tell, thought they were pretty sharp (scanned with a 
ScanWit scanner). My French friend sent me some jpegs of his lens so I 
could confirm I was talking with the seller about the same lens ( there are 
several versions - one on the Bay fitted to a C*n*n had exactly the same 
description, was used for dental work, but was about twice the length).

Brooklyn Camera in NY had one. Now I have. Their site still shows the mark 
on the shelf where it was; a SOLD sign.

My 2nd non-Zuiko lens for a while. Tight as a bell, clean as a whistle, solid 
as a rock, (have I missed anything) no box but it looks new (it's used).  Does 
1:1.  So now I'm not going to fret over not having a Zuiko macro for a while. 

Brooklyn were good to deal with.

Since I do quite a few macro shots one way or another, this horse is a very 
welcome addition to my stable.

Both it and the Samyang 18-28 have DOF preview buttons, which I much 
prefer.

So in two hits I've covered 18-28, and a great 50mm macro area of my work. 
Not many gaps left that matter now. The one or two that *are* left will take 
quite some making / saving for   i|;-)

Cheers, Brian
