- Has anyone tried this lens on a Canon EOS mount? No camera shop (mail-order
- included) seems to have them in stock except for Camera World of Oregon. I've
- tried it on a Maxuum mount and it seems OK (at least for casual photography)
- except that it doesn't focus below 7+ feet in the macro mode. I read a review
- in Popular Photography (Jan 1993) which stated that this problem was being
- fixed by an additional 1/2 diopter close-up lens that goes on the end. They
- were also favorably impressed with this setup.
-
- I would like to have just one lens to lug around for all my meagre
- photography needs, so this lens intrigues me.

- Thanks,
