Your best bet is a used macro. Consider the Vivitar 90/2.5 (1:2) or the Vivitar

Hi:
I tried to order some chemistry from B&H photo today, only
to find that they will not ship what I want.
Anyway, if some kind soul on the list ( I am thinking of a

Although it was said that there are Kodak instant scan and print
machines in some places that will scan slides also, I've never
seen one that does.
Where do I find them?
Also, can someone suggest a place in California's San Jose

Thanks,

You're right, Shel; the point of choosing the 24-35 was to replace 3
primes; in my haste, I simply modified my 28 and 35 recommendations.

I'll second the vote for Tamron SP 90/2.5 MF, and it has the advantage of
macro 1:2 or using the dedicated 2X converter, the lens becomes a 180/5

I have the Sears 135/2.8, though mine does not have a
