p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · EF-S Macro on a EOS 1N! Works like a dream | |
Hi All,
I recently purchased the 12mm Canon Extension tube for an experiment.
I love my EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro lens, its a really stunner. Of course when the need to shoot film for this year came up I was annoyed I couldnt use this gem of a lens on my film body's.
After some research I though why not simply use an extension tube? The Canon version states you can mount an EF-S lens on it, so why not use that on a film body....
It works VERY well. I have lost infinity focus, but its not for that purpose. A macro lens is for macro work.
There is NO dark corners, as the Macro is bright enough, and the 'image circle' nicely covers the 35mm frame.
Auto focus is spot on and with good speed. I have tested the EF-S Macro and tube combo on an EOS 10s FILM body and a EOS 1N Pro film body. Both work like a dream
NONE of this crazy EF-S lens hacking, simply use the tube!
Its given a new lease of live on my Film shots, as I can now use this lens perfectly for the macro work.
I can post pictures when the film is developed.
Just thought I would share this for others wanting to use this on a full frame.
