That's the one I have, Ed.
I absolutely love mine! Bought it I guess nearly 3 years ago now, at the advice of a former TPF member.
It has proven to be one of my best purchases!

I read the Thom Hogan review of it a few years back: he gave it a solid,solid recommendation. One thing to note: 90 to 100 or 105mm macro lenses are EASY designs to design and manufacture...this is a very simple, easy type of lens to make, and it does not require ED or LD glass, nor aspherical elements, or anything really "cutting edge". Even old, 1970's-era designs in the 90 to 105mm focal length range are still quite excellent performers. It's kind of like say....an axe, or a splitting maul...not a really high-techy-techy kinda device to make, you know what I mean?
