I was thinking without. The 120/4 goes to 1:1 unaided. It's also a bit longer than the 67 macros, I think. It's just a wee bit short for tight headshots though...you get a bit of the big nose syndrome. The 150/2.8 is my next lens. > > > Want decent close focusing ability?

Of > course, that requires one to buy brand new lenses. Ok. I was thinking of the short teles specifically...don't you need a tube to get a headshot with either of the 165's? What about the 200? Neither of these issues would really be a deal breaker for most folks. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
