I bought a set of Soligor AF macro rings. These work nice. I'd like
to know which AF lens would best suit. I think of a 135 or 100mm
lens because of the longer focussing distance. Seems to me that the
50/60/80mm oblige to be too close to the subject. I'll look at
Sigma, I think. What's your opinion?

You have to be in your mind that you have to multiply the focus by
1.5 for your S1. I think a 135 shall be a bit long for macro (about
200 mm in comparison to 35 mm). It does depend to the subjects too.
By the tele the subject is out of view very easy when just a little
bit moving your camera. So postitioning is more difficult.
A 60 mm Nikon Micro Nikkor is a very nice lens. As well for macro
as also for portaits

You are so right, I used a Mamiya 645 for macros..........

So I forgot about the small format focus lengths and the
multiplication factor of the S1 ))

60mm seems a little short though, 90mm should suit what I am shooting.

Thank you for your help

Thor

Hmmm good question. If we take high end macro lenses, will the
resolution of these lenses overpass the CCD resolution
