How far away can you be from subject to use this lens? I have a Marine Reef tank which I want to photograph. Cant decide whether to go for this lens or some tubes and TC for my 100mm 2.8 ? :rolleyes:

Focus distance for the various Magnifactions are as follows, the lens dosent focus to infinity.

x1 4.0in
x2 2.5in
x3 2.0in
x4 1.7in
x5 1.6in

I would have thought you would be better off with the 100mm and tubes.

Hopw this helps.

Alistair.
