nikon close up filter

[kegler]

Are they the best? or B+w or wat brand better?
a nikon 6T or reverse 50mm would gimme a better magnification? or rather nearer?
I feel that reverse 50mm is more for small n stationary object.... shoot outdoor ie insect or flower very hard to use.... does 6T gimme the same effect as reverse?

Thx in advance

Roughly the answer is yes. But the 6T is 62mm thread.

oh ya.... how abt stacking 2 x 4T? degrading of optics?

[jnet6]

Try the 3T or 4T.. quite gd..
i have try 1 3T with 52... min focusing dist is about 2+.+ cm...
optics is GD!!!!
even tried stack 2x 3T... even closer.

, this is the popular setup.

AF-S 80-200 + 500D = how much times magnification?

I've used the reversal ring, and its difficult to use... the subject magnification is more or less fixed, and you go so near. No doubt, magnification is big, but often, u block out all the light.

I currently use a Nikkor 50mm and a cheap Hoya +4 for closeup work.... I'm constantly amazed by how good that cheap filter is. Gives alot more room for focusing etc.

I've a pic posted a few moments ago taken using the above set up. The image is under the Still Life Abstract forum , named... Wallpaper Series if you would like to see a sample.

u mean ext tube for 50mm or 105mm ?

[zmwang]

the extension cube can be use on 50 and 105, but with different ratio

I can turn my ex-85mm/1.4 to a micro lens with the PN-11

How much are you looking at? for the 105mm?

wat u mean? u got lobang? hee...

[zmwang]

Should you a picture for the power of extension cube and below.

%100, no crop, resolution reduce to 800x600



I use a ruler to measure the length of the long border, it is 10mm.

This picture taken with PB-6 with PN-11, and AIS 55/2.8 lens. The ratio of 55mm/2.8 is 2:1, but I forget to put it on that ratio.
