I had a few questions about this lens' macro mode (I couldn't find answers easily), I wonder if anyone here can help...
How is the sharpness past f/5.6 in macro mode in comparison to dedicated macro lens? Is it possible to achieve 1:1 magnification using extension tubes with macro mode or would it give 1:1 with 1.4x TC (I know canon TC won't work, I mean something like kenko 1.4x) I wonder if anyone has used this as a macro lens and what their experiences were? Related messages Can anyone share their experiences using this lens underwater? I haven't seen it mentioned much, but with the zoom range and the close focus ability (up to 0.7x) it seems like a useful lens for macro work and fish portraits.
At the moment my kit consists of Canon 6D, Canon 1100D, EF-S 10-18mm 1: f3.5-5.6, EF-S 18-55mm 1: f4.5-5.6, EF 70-300mm 1:f4-5.6, EF macro 100mm 1:f2.8. Is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens the best option to fill the gap I have in FL for my 6D. This would be a big outlay for me so...
My Canon 24-70 is not one of my most thrilling lenses. It rarely surprises me. Take, for example, my Nikon 105mm Macro. That lens just keeps on giving! The Canon 17-40mm is also a stunner at times as is the Canon 50mm f/1.4. So why was this lens made exactly? And, who loves it? And for what purpo...
Hello,Is is possible to use a 1.4x extender with the Canon 100mm macro and the new 24-70mm that comes with the Mark III without harm? I know it can be used with telephotos but wanted to make sure it would not damage any glass. The 24-70 I'm talking about has the new 82mm lens. Thanks for your help.
Am thinking of buying the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens. There's also a Tamron SP 24-70mm Di VC USD made for Canon. I'm wondering whether anyone has any strong opinions one way or the other between these 2? Thank You.
Or what about the Tamron verson of the 24-70mm? Is the canon verson 24-70mm lens worth over 2000, in everyday shooting experences? Thank you for your replies.
First the new 24-70mm f2.8 comes out at a staggering £1899 and now we have the option of a 24-70mm F4 (with IS and Macro facility) at a mere £1499. Is it just me or are these prices ridculous? I mean, you could buy two really decent laptops for those prices. Nikons 24-70mm suddenly seems like a b...
