People are catching on to this now and the prices have been rising. I was watching a 100mm Macro Takumar that went over $200. I think.

And it looks like he's got yellow frosting on his butt, but I'm not going to tell him that. You are catching some great shots. That's what I like about macro, you don't have to go any farther than your back yard if you don't want to. Steve
