Re: 60mm performance

It tried the 60mm macro for negatives and was only able to get a sharp image without an extension tube. This meant that I wasn’t maximizing the image to sensor size at MFD. But turned up about a 16MP image.

Tried the macro extension tubes and wasn’t able to get a sharp image across the field. In general the macro extension tubes make the edges soft.

Instead of this I got a vintage 55mm macro able to go 1:1. Been able to get very good results filling the sensor with the image and since the lens was designed for 35mm cameras, the projected part onto the APS-C sensor is sharp at f/8.
