Trust me.

Good website. Thanks! Another question, I've read many other articles but don't really understand. what do they mean by working distance and why must i zoom to the max when using 6T? Why shouldn't i use the cam's macro mood when using 6T? And, is stacking 2 6T really recommended?silvergetz said:U need to buy a 55mm to 62mm step-up ring to use the 6T with the FZ5. Costs about $12.
Btw, i stumpled upon this site, hope to share with everyone.

The FZ5 have a work around for Manual focus, using the 'Focus' button on the back....you must change some mode in your Menus.
AF can work with or without the 6T. Its the very limited DOF that makes it hard to get the right thing in focus....so the fix focus method is easier to get the image

dts_spawn said:Ya.. that's the "fix-focus-then-move-cam" method i'm talking about. :bsmilie:
Is the DOF VERY limited? would that make stacking of 2 6T a nightmare?
karnage said:Working distance would mean the distance from your camera lens to the subject. Usually, u would want a greater working distance if you're working on shy critters. You do not NEED to zoom to the max but zooming in magnifies the image... K, maybe magnify is not the word, but the subject is bigger la. Using the camera's macro mode with a close-up filter is pointless because most of us set it to manual focus. Besides, macro mode is pretty much the same as P Mode except that it's able to focus at nearer points.
Stacking 2 6Ts would give u greater magnification. A 6T is about +2.9 (according to tchuanye's post last time) so stacking 2 of 'em would give u a +5.8... Of course, u can stack more but the more u stack, the more image degrades, the closer your working distance becomes...
unseen said:eh just to correct your misconception
2X 6T @ +2.9 does not give you +5.8
there's a forumula to the calculation. Think it was posted up quite a few times, quite a while back too.
dts_spawn said:I've read that the working distance for 6T is 0.33m. Does it mean i have to be at most 0.33m away from the subjuct?
