macro question
Have been experimenting with my handy-dandy Canon 100mm f2.8 Mk I Macro
lens and a quarter and got some amazing close-ups. It's incredible how many scratches there can be on a seemingly newish and shiny coin. Anyway, I was wondering, is it possible to add extension tubes to the (1:1) macro lens to get even greater magnification? I can't think of any reason why not? Thanks. |

Try adding a 1.4 or 2x teleconverter as well, by itself or with the tubes. Just be aware that it may affect your TTL flash metering. - Al. -- To reply, insert dash in address to match domain below Online photo gallery at www.wading-in.net |
