Nice bokeh eagle..eh or Owl rclxub.gif blush.gif Which 50mm now haha..1.7 or 1.4 and Minolta lens or none Minolta?

BTW, the 70-210mm is this one:
"Sigma UC Zoom 70-210mm F4-5.6 Multicoated. Minolta MD mount"

Looking for a 100mm 1:1 macro lens..either minolta/Sigma wth MD mount for sure since I hv the MD adapter dy rclxms.gif

That one crop at F3.5? Yeah really wow..I think I must reduced my F from 1.4 to probably 2.8 or 4 too haha

One think I dun like about 50MM after using it for few days + the added adapter is the focal lenght permanently >50mm & wth the adapter probably 80MM? That's already any auto max zoom lens liao compare wth my existing 18-55 kit lens and if wanna shoot food picture, I need to sit further away from my food.. sad.gif

For those going manual, this is a good long winded interesting article.. I spent almost 3 hrs digesting it while watching dramas haha

http://aggregate.org/DIT/OLDLENS/

I hope I will not be like this biggrin.gif :

QUOTE
Old manual focus lenses are highly addictive. The first time you pick one up, the mechanical quality hits home. Then you turn the focus ring. Wow! That sure felt good. Unbelievably smooth. Then you make the really big mistake. Thinking manual focus is cool, you try turning the manual focus ring on your favorite auto-focus lens. What the H*LL was that? Sloppy. Plastic. Yuck! The next thing you know, you've got a dozen old M42 lenses sitting next to you.... It's called LBA: Lens Buying Addiction.

So raynox better than Extension tube hmm.gif .. Thinking of getting one. I luv macro but the result kenot even get close to fansoptian.. blush.gif
QUOTE(zstan @ Feb 28 2012, 09:03 AM)
The adapter won't affect the crop factor. But with extension tubes you lose your ability to focus to infinity and the IQ may lose out to using Raynox.
