Hi Brian,
Thanks for the interest. For me, the Leica Elmarit-R 60 Macro seems
magical. I can move in very close, get the area of interest in focus, and
get nice bokeh to hide the background. And, yes, focus magic is a part of
my normal workflow. The stamens would not have been as sharp without the
use of FM.
