RAH1861 Senior Member 330 posts Likes: 3 Joined Jul 2011 More info | That's one VERY scary lens! 5:1! Yikes! If it were somewhat less expensive, it might be fun to fool around with, but somehow I don't think my technique would ever be good enough. But if you're an insect proctologist, it's probably essential... Rich

Aug 19, 2012 00:25 | #34 Now all you need is extension tubes to uses with your macro lens. Haaaaaargh! hard enough to get a sharp image without flash as it is... I'll wait my next macro obsession period for that! Canon 6D | S35mm f1.4 | 135mm f2 The rest: T3i, 20D, 15mm f2.8, 15-85mm, 24mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8, 90mm f2.8 macro, 55-250mm.

The rule of thumb is that your magnification is increased by [focal length/tube length] - which is why the effect of tubes is much greater with shorter focal length lenses. Cheers, Damien

So 25mm tube on the EF 50mm/1.4 with a default MM of .15x, would be .5x +.15x = .65x? Or..50mm ext. on the 100 macro, would be .5x + 1.00x = 1.5x? Yes, that's right. Wow, 2 corrections for such a short post, I am embarrassed! Cheers, Damien
