I have toyed with the idea but never gone that way for fear of damaging the sensor. Since you now also mention it, let me look at what Peter Greg...
Not technically oriented but I'm sure Canon has amongst the best minds if they can resolve to do this. As I see it simplistically, all that is...
Thanks for the inputs. I do have a blower but it really does not help.... much. As you may be aware, the Sony sensor is totally exposed when...
The question he asked was if he would be better off investing in a dedicated macro. Not can you get good results from a cheap extension tube. Why...
A macro lens is high quality optics but the question asked here is - it worth the price? I own close up optics (Nikon 4T), extension tubes, macro...
Yes, Pentax does have IS bodies but the stabilisation does not show in the view finder and that makes it difficult to manually focus or fine tune...
Sure, its possible to get pleasing pics with that lens you mention..,.. most modern lenses for that matter! Then again, if one can get good action...
Why not dispose the A6000 and get yourself a sensor stabilized body (e.g Sony A7 Mk II)? Problem solved forever with all lenses - IS or non IS -...
They will do just fine! I often use a 28mm+12mm as a very close up/macro IS lens! I'd suggest you stick to max f4 lens as f5.6+25mm extension can...
NO luck. I have tried using the FD 50/3.5 macro, 85/1.8, 70-200/4 L on Canon 5D Mk II and also Sony A7 Mk II. Terrible image quality when compared...
I have had just this in mind for very long....! Fully second this suggestion. Its a crying shame to let those wonderfully built FDn lenses made in...
Understanding of 'affordable' varies. Care to specify? So many suggestions out here I wonder if they help narrow your search or confuse you! So...
Hello Weetbix! You may not be sure but I am....! (No offence, but I only post if I have personal experience of the subject and eqpt.) I never...
One ends up with dull view finders and very poor image quality compared to modern lenses.
'Affordable' is subjective. Needs to be quantified. As also the image quality you look for. Frankly, birding and budget lenses are mutually...
Ce fac Vasile?! Conclusion: It all depends finally on personal definition of 'quality'. As also the final use of the image. The Canon 1200D you...
True, but if one is relying on photos to ascertain weather sealing, then a more reliable option is to look at the official specifications. (Many...
Looking for a Canon EF 25mm extension tube in fully functional and cosmetically min 8/10 condition - and not at eBay prices, please! Thanks!
Unless I am mistaken weather sealed lenses have washers/gaskets at the mount. Visible.
The first reaction of many looking at this title may likely be - what kind of silly comparison is that?! So here goes... Say you frequently shoot...
