It has really quite a good macro option with image stabilisation and does a great job, but nothing beats an SLR with interchangeable lenses and that one you have is a beauty.<BR/><BR/>But as you say, the lens doesn't take itself out there and take pics for ya, youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299634881718787326.post-76507623286428729382008-07-04T14:09:00.000-07:002008-07-04T14:09:00.000-07:00I don't buying you a Petunia ....I don't buying you a Petunia ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299634881718787326.post-10828252879575842342008-07-03T19:14:00.000-07:002008-07-03T19:14:00.000-07:00Thanks CA.
