Re: Photos and experience with the 105mm OS macro lens

Thank you for your contribution    This is a correct comment.

The 105mm macro OS lens is also a compromise for me, but for a different reason than the macro .. I bought it because I didn't find another lightweight 100mm lens on the SD1 Merrill for landscape. I don't necessarily have to have a 1: 1 macro. I need more photos up close and landscape. In addition, 150mm and 180mm lenses are heavy and I want to avoid that (I have one heavy 50-100mm Art lens and that's enough)
For close-up and macro photos, I will use a 70mm and 105mm lens.
I compare a 105mm OS lens with a 50-100mm (100mm) lens to know if these lenses are replaceable .. I also check the even sharpness of the new 105mm OS lens. I don't like lenses that are soft in the corners.

Thanks, Peter.
