If you're just looking for a stopgap, the F 35-70 3.5~4.5, is quite
capable and quite inexpensive. It's macro capability is only about a
1:3 reproduction ratio on the plus side it's close focus capability is
on the long end of it's range.

I'd like to acquire a decent AF macro lens, but as usual, there is a limit
on funds.
The SMC F 35-80mm f4 seems to be reasonable in cost, but from reviews read
on the net, is a poor performer. The DFA 100mm f2.8 is about six times more
expensive but has very good reviews.
I'd sooner save up and get a lens I will be happy with, but are there any
alternatives that I should consider - and are there any comments about the
two lenses above?
