Which Macro lense to get?

[kingpin]

I'm interested in the GR 1. Not sure that the GR 1s is still being sold new. I think its $680 new. Fotoguide's price of $780 is for the GR1v with date? Is there a difference is the casing of the GR10 and GR1v? Understand GR1v is magnesium alloy.

I have a GR1s black which I might sell in the near future :cry: . Seldom use now and is as new (not a single mark on it), boxed with everything that came with it (lens hood, strap, case & instruction) plus SOME EXTRAS ...

[1] Filter adapter
[2] Polariser
[3] ND (4X)
[4] UV
[5] FLD



I bought it new when GR1s was first introduced, together with the filter kit, all cost me near $1000! ... for a compact!

:bheart:

I will let them go for $680 if anyone is interested.

Decided to get the Nikkor 105 micro. Its good for its price and its a Nikkor which is well supported. Not sure about the voigt although I have read good comments about it. Seen some nice shots. But find it pricey and not sure of its support here.
