3.6k at shashinki

subject bigger than 2cm square u cant focus whole body de eh....cuz minimum focusing is 1:1 to 5:1

600 more pricier than the 105 VR :O. I wonder Nikkor got any equivalents or not... This one 5:1 is extended one right? Means it has something like a built in extension tube?

Yup....there are currently no substitution for this lens, from 1:1 to 5:1 in just a turn of fingers

Mine just 1000D + Tamron SP90mm + 580EX II (DIY reflector), borrowed MP-E 65mm + MT-24 EX (DIY diffuser) for few shots

Around RM3000+- can get a new 1, not overly priced in my opinion

Yes...close proximity learning

No substitute for this lens at the moment. 5:1 is its maximum magnification, not extension tube or whatsoever. (Just like our normal lenses, have both minimum and maximum magnification, which are often unknown to us)

Not even near to a master level yet...

Thanks ah ngao =)

wow.. TK your macro shot really impressive.... do you use macro flash also?

From the way I'm reading how this lens works, it is like extending the lens for higher f/stop. Some sort like those lens fitted with extension tube and the f/stop increases according to the tube length.

Ok liaw lar... CY, buy buy buy ~ Shopping sphree..... Hehehe....

You need to jump ship to use that lens. Get 550D + MPE65 settle!

If u wanna say a lens with variable extension tube, a macro bellow suits better the description.

MP-E 65mm is just another lens with moving glasses to increase/decrease the magnification ratio. The last element of glass (the piece nearest to your camera mount) still remains static, where bellow/extension tube does not.

Most of my shots are only 1:1 without crop, unless otherwise specified.
