I had an old Canon FD mount TC so I gave it try with my MP-E 65 and it does focus to infinity. It is cool and all that but is there a real advantage by using the setup vs using 100mm macro lens? 1Ds IR, 5DIII, 1DIII, 17-40, 24-105, 70-200, TS-E24, 40, 50, 85, 100, MP-E65

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English. No advantage over using a 100mm macro for shots at less than 1:1 from an IQ point of view apart from you although do get rather good DOF. Main point for shooters like me that use a dedicated macro rig is it enables me to take my MPE-65 rig out on excursions where before I would have taken my 1:1 Tamron 90 rig out. This means I can tackle just about any size of subject fairly easily. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/

Every time when I have a question, only you have the answer most of the time. You must have a lot of experience. Again, thanks for the info. Probably because I'm retired I have more time to answer questions http://www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/

New the answer to this one as it was me that found the effect with a very old Pentax fit telemore converter I had. I was looking for ways to reduce the minimum magnification of the MPE-65. Brian v.
