Re: My personal macro and tele lens comparison

Hmmh, I will have a closer look at the 7-300 back-focus thing. I will focus manually and watch the contrast changing ...

And I should take a second look at the 75-300 with Meike rings. You seem to have good results ...

With Close-Up lens, it is similar or slightly better than the 40-150. But above 150mm it is barely useful. For macro work, the 40-150 would be sufficient. But I bought the 300mm lens for other purposes.

With Meike rings, the zoom ring changes also the focus distance, quite confusing when coming from a Close-Up lens with constant distance. Therefore I tested the rings with primary lenses only...
