    Been reading a very interesting book on Iridology by Adam J. Jackson which contains many health related insights, including how the IRIS maps the body and can flag underlying issues - a bit dated but seems fairly thorough and sound on many levels. Otherwise, many more modern titles out there which I've yet to look into but first step is imaging your IRIS. ; )

    I have this lens and it is A+. I recently purchased the Adaptalux system specifically for this lens! Works perfectly!! If you can afford it, the NOVOFLEX CASTEL-M FOCUSING RAIL RACK (CASTEL-M) works perfectly with this lens. The settings on the rail match the settings on this lens. Even though I have an automated rail, I find using the Castel-M very enjoyable and easy to use. The calibrations for each click of the rail control are integrated into the rail and are set for f5.6 so you need the precise light from the Adaptalux!
