Sorry, I meant /1.4, or x0.7

That would be as complicated as mounting Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 on an x1.4 Speed Booster adapter for m43.

Thanks! I just didn't know how far it extends (some macro lenses do a lot, almost doubling in length) nor did I know the back flange distance. 15-16 cm is very nice (well, OK for 1:2, would be...

I think the first is Fuji, the second  -- Canon. Fuji resolves fine textures (eyebrows, skin and shirt textures) better due to the lack of AA filter. But it is close indeed.

Thank you for your answer, but it is not the answer to the question I asked. "Focus as close as 10.5 inches" from the object to what? The "minimum focusing distance" all manufacturers and (I guess)...

Sorry, but I can't find it anywhere (seems to be a conspiracy of the macro lens manufacturers). The question is: what is the working distance (the distance from the object to the FRONT LENS...

No hand grip again? When will they learn?

Tested at f/11? What normal or tele lens ISN'T sharp to the corners at this aperture?

Tested at f/11? What normal or tele lens ISN'T sharp to the corners at this aperture?

I tried something like that. Not on FF, but on x1.5 crop of Fuji X-E1. And, again, not the micro 4/3 but a full 4/3 lens 12-60 f/2.8-4. It's a good piece of glass. A very good piece. So first I...

Not bad at all, but how different would this shot be if taken with 18-55 zoom at 55 mm f/4?

I guess I’m an unbiased party. I have both Olympus OM-D (with a lot of lenses) and Fuji X-E1 with 18-55 zoom. Well, and a full frame Canon 5DII with a nice line up of lenses as well, so no bias...

Olympus still has decency to use 20/60 for their lenses dedicated for x2 crop.

Well, let me guess... A full-frame 25-50 f/2.8 lens with a built-in Metabones-style telecompressor (aka speed booster)?
I know, the Metabones design only works without a mirror box. They seem to...

Not my experience. I have an non-SWD version and like it very much, but it is a strictly manual focus lens. AF moves the lens elements, but it always ends up in a wrong place.  And manual focusing...

Thanks, I'll take a look when it becomes available, but I doubt I buy it. One reason, Panasonic's latest m43 pricing is completely crazy. Another reason is something interesting I found during my...

Now downsized Olympus shots with Sigma: OM-D w/Sigma 400 downsized (x0.71)  OM-D w/Sigma 400 mm and x1.4 TC downsized (x0.5)

Repost of Canon which somehow is not showing on my monitor Oly 283 mm  Canon 560 mm

OK, here is  a quick and dirty comparison.  I had no time to set up a tripod, shoot raw convert etc. Everything hand held, JPEG out of camera, I picked the least blurred shots. Olympus is set to...

I’ll check it out. I no longer have Oly 75-300 (the first version), I sold it when I found out that it loses in terms of resolution and contrast to the older 50-200 Olympus lens with Oly x1.4 TC...
