Hi Randy

I have the mcex-16 which I think has a larger magnification.

The Fuji chart says 0.69 for the wide end with the ex11 for the 18-55 (if I read it correctly).

The above link has the chart for both extension tubes (if you don't already have it) in PDF form of you scroll down the page a little.

Cheers Paul

I believe if you set the lens to around 35mm you can get a little bit of distance from the subject.

Yes, I get better separation at the longer focal lengths.

Just out of curiosity, I took this shot to estimate the magnification at 18mm. It's only about 0.7x if my thinking is correct. Not scientific, but fun.

At 18mm. The front of the magnetic filter/cap ring is touching the ruler, which leaves the front element only a few mm from touching.
