<\/a><\/p>\nThe 60 works as a fine\u00a0short distance portrait lens.<\/p>\n
Oops. Forgot to reset the Manual Lens Detection. So the EXIF shows the 50 cron rather than the 60 Elmarit in the first three samples above. Rest assured every image in this post was shot with the 60 Elmarit\u2014R; irrespective of the EXIF data.<\/p>\n Throwing the Macro-Elmarit-R 60 Extension Tube in the bag extends the range to include 1:1 through 1:2 with little extra weight\u2026 though may mean taking the 28 Summicron\u00a0out of my fairly tiny “everywhere every day bag.” No. I can<\/strong> fit the tube and the 28 too!<\/p>\n Popping the Apo-Extender-R 2X makes a remarkable 120mm 5.6 Macro\u00a0which\u00a0adds working distance and different depth of field to both macro or other medium long focal length possibilities \u2014 all while taking up very little space or weight in the bag.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now why in the world would the above photograph be tac sharp and the one below be unsharp?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nBoth were shot handheld at a 1\/1000th of a second. Hard to imagine that the bottom one involves movement.
\nBoth used focus assist with the “red” lighting up appropriately on the intended subject. What the hell’s going on here?
\nInfinity focus issues? Hard to imagine that at around f:8 with a 60 mm. Any ideas?<\/p>\n
