Set to close focus and focus with bellows extension.

Makes perfect sense--likely should explicitly say that somewhere in eSIF.

An excellent on topic OM point.

OMG!!! NO!!

I wasn't there.
I didn't do it.
Nobody saw me.
You can't prove a thing!

BTW  the 50 F2 macro has certain je ne sais quoi just used as a normal 50.  I 
should get mine out for some exercise.

One of my earliest posts when I found this list was a query as to how/why the 50/2.0 was superior to the 50/3.5 for macro work and 50/1.4 for regular work, as Gary's tests showed the macros to be equal from f5.6 to f11, where macro work would be done, and the last 50/1.4s to be better at the wider apertures.

As I recall, Gary responded that he thought, based on later practical use, that his tests on that particular 50/2 somewhat understated larger aperture performance - something like that.

Never did get a 50/2. The 50/3.5 worked so beautifully for flat field copy work 
and I didn't need another good normal 50.
