nsbca, i am having this kind of lensing with also mt24 flashing attachments too. the lens will not indicate focus correction light within camera at much of all primarily speaking because of the manually lens and does not have same contacts to setting the focusing indicating lights. i am also having the angle finder c which helps a little tidy sum but only most in certain specifically occasions in need. i will say that 2.8 is kind of like a deception in description with this lensing unit most especially past 3x, lucky for you you are having the mt24 which helps a little, if you did not have the flash i would say no way man, no way. it is a lensing of convenience to say but i have better quality with my movie film lensing bought at used store and bellows for the best quality type macro over this overpriced lensing. |
Thank you, Tera. I wish I could find a bellows to work with the EOS system. I had read about the light fall-off at higher magnifications, but had attributed that to the lens being so close to the image.
But really, you are the second person I have talked to that has actually ever used one of these lenses and you sound less than pleased with yours. I think I will do a lot more research before I put out the dollars for this.
Maybe I will just save my money and get this EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM
PS:(you have the cutest accent)

i am thinking it is only mostly limited very much use lensing for specific people that rarely need. i unfortunately have made my purchasing before i was introduced to the amazingly world of novoflex bellows and cheap movie lensing with cheap adapters couplers and lots of goody toys from used store and vintage store the quality is just amazing stuff it is! it is an amazing funny find because novoflex bellow connected with modern digital camera looking so curiously funny to anyone including veteran photography peoples especially if you using with tiny film lens maybe 16mm mostly odd couple ever known to humanity!
there of course is not quality problems i had with canon lens because of it is convenient and quality glassing but it has very limited specific appeal and you must get very very very cery close to objects which is also a nuissance for living creatures if that sounds like what you want for,so needing of using that fast shutter sync with your flash mt24,if you don't have it is next to impossible to get near proper exposure especially with wanting high depth field oh and lens goes to f16 only if i remembering correctly. on other notes i have canon 180mm macro and i am loving the great distance away and beautiful bokeh of this lensing, with mp65 if you going at higher magnification you need to me so terribly close that many live objects go away madly and disgruntled, a horrid pain in the neckline! you having to get SO close that sometimes you can accidentally squish object because at such high magnigication it is hard to refind object in viewfinder if you move a little or if objecting disco away from lens. the lens is somewhat heavy and has luckily coming with tripod mounting ring and when fully extended is very turgidly and huge not what expecting when you see first state of lens in 1x positioning. also the lens glass itself is amazingly tiny it is surprising and shocking, the glass is only perhchance an inch!! are you using for hobby or for professional macro studio use of commercial detail? if you are using only thinking along of neat hobbby and neat bug photo then i would recommending elsewhere but if you are using for detailing commercial work in studio of inannimate objects that need such precicion of detailing than why not? oh and i remember other odd getting used to thing about this lensing is that there is absolutely NO FOCUS knobbing at all remember that because no one ever believing me but there is none only amplification of magnification from no 1x magnification to 5x. |
