Re: Image Sample

When I got my 1.75x adaptor for my G3, way back when, I tried it on every 58mm filter mount lens I had. Some worked, some didn't and I couldn't find a pattern. It worked best on my 100 mm macro but, in general, it didn't add much except for the Gs. I've had two Gs which I use for backpacking and other light travel. The extender has been a really useful addition. Being able to use a polarizer is, I think, critical for landscapes and so a deal breaker on P&S cameras except for the Gs. Lensmate has been a great accessory here. If I could simply add a picture here, I'd show you a G3 image from Bora Bora in 2003 that is just lovely. I could do better today with my 5D but it still makes me smile. The extender came in really handy with the Tahitian dancers ;-).

Your test shot shows the extender works so I wouldn't worry too much about if its supposed to or not. I'm expecting Santa is going to deliver a G10 in a couple of days and I'm excited about having a camera light enough to backpack with that Rockwell and Reichman think can match up to a 5D. Your posts have helped me evaluate the critical Lensmate piece and I thank you. I had to guide Santa after all.

Your music list looks much like mine. There are a few new names and I'll look up these on itunes. Cheers.
