I'll go a different approach then most. My philosophy is that once you've
bought a good set of auto tubes and CU lenses, you could have bought a
decent 50/3.5 macro. I've owned several (down to one, where i'll stay), and
never paid over $110. If you're patient, you can find one in the $100
range. Great little lens, particularly for the money.
