Chris >Am a new owner of subject lens and want to add 1:1 magnification capability. >The dedicated Elpro unit is the obvious choice and will offer a ratio of >1.1:1. The APO-Extender, however, used with the same lens yields a 200/5.6 >which can focus continuously from infinity to 1:1 ratio. Though more >expensive, the Extender would offer more flexibility (greater film plane to >subject distance and greater focusing range), not to mention the ability to >use it with other R lenses. > >Question is, which approach yields the best results at 1:1? Any hands-on >comparisons would be appreciated. > -- > Roger Beamon, Natural History Interpreter & Photographer > Docent: Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum > INTERNET: beamon@primenet.com > > > **************************************************** C.M.
