Thanks @mdmarqphoto! I will check that model out!

Thanks @kli for all your helpful insights! I am experimenting across my Minolta  X570, Olympus OM-D and FF Canons. I carry two types at any time. Having a portable flash with the non-TTL-auto would ...

@sshapiro, I gather one could try using "safe sync"  / triggers to alleviate those problems.

Thank you very much for sharing your insights @kli . I will checkout the cactus and the canon 580ex. Why more manufacturers have decided to get rid of such a great option is beyond me. It doesn’t ...

Hi @Ellis Vener, great advice once again. Yes, I was going after precisely of those Vivitar auto thyrister types. I was just hoping for a more modern take on the same system. I think I will decide ...

Thanks @BBbuilder467! I looked at those products, and I am unsure if they have the auto-mode functionality. By "auto-modes if needed through an extra photo-sensor on flash body", I didn't mean ...

Everyone, I am looking for a not-necessarily-a-TTL flash, which allows auto-modes if needed through an extra photo-sensor on flash body. It would also be great if the flash allows power ...

Thanks all! @jshen808, Thanks! We did consider the 1/2.3" sensor super-zoom bridge cameras before we settled on m4/3 for better IQ. Although better AF and tracking are available in the m4/3 realms ...

Everyone, We are currently deciding between the Fuji and Sony systems for lightweight birding and wildlife photography. Body-wise, between the XT4 vs. the a6600, the XT4 is appealing to us. But ...

Hi Everyone, An update. After a good bit of figuring out, back and forth with adapters etc., I got set up with a "near mint" Schneider Componon-S 50 f/2.8. This marvelous piece of junk is wayyyy ...

That's stunning @sharpblur!

Thanks @cdembrey! Indeed, the bellows suggestion was a strong recommendation made earlier by a few other forum members, but your specification of mounts is very useful!

Thank you @jonby, I will continue searching around the models mentioned. In the meantime, I think getting the lens further back by about an inch or two, and giving up on the 15-20% of the 30MP of ...

Never mind, this was a matter of changing Fn2 button to "Magnify" instead of "Digital teleconverter" option. Cheers!

Hello Everyone, I am not sure I have screwed up my Oly EM 10 III's settings. I have been doing some copy work with a macro lens. So corner sharpness was of interest. Just like the way I would do ...

@guyfawkes, I can confirm that at 1:2 magnification the Oly's field curvature is less noticeable. With the match native Oly 25mm extension tube, I suffer both the field curvature (the problem ...

@SandyHill, @D Cox thank you on the bellows advice. I looked them up; unless I am mistaken, it looks like the net cost of the whole setup approaches some used modern day macros, if not a lot more. ...

hey Rich, thanks! I am going to look into it. Judging purely from the up to $250 used prices, would  this be comparable to the Canon 100 f/2.8 USM (non L) ?  The reason I ask is that I work with ...

Hey Everyone, I got into film recently, started fiddling with extension tubes on my kit lens to do the DSLR scanning. I could never get the center and corners sharp. The corners were so horrendous ...

@Barry Duggan, I am going through the same recently, although in my case it’s an Olympus lens and purple colored haze/glare. Like @neilt3 points out, I masked off the rest of the light source ...
