With a Marumi close-up filter +5 almost 1:2 magnification...
How about DOF? Will the combination be usable handheld?
What will be the magnification with a +3 Marumi?
Hi Chalie,
With the Marumi +3 achromat, the lens would be 1:3 Mag. (or 0.33x)
I will test it out and see how well this combination works.
I really prefer the size of the lens without the included lens hood, but would still like some flare and accidental bump protection. So, after browsing Amazon, I came across two alternative lens hood styles that I decided to give a try.
Has anyone else tried a 3rd party hood on their lens yet?
BTW, the first photo was shot with the CV 110mm on an a7R iii. The proceeding photos are all shot on an RX100 VII. No studio lighting or anything, just incandescent light on top of an IKEA cabinet.

I own the Haoge 49mm square metal hood and I think it looks cool on this lens. However, I am mostly shooting with it bare. It has great veiling flare resistance.

Yeah, I think it's my favorite out of the three. That's good to hear that it's resistant to veiling flare.
I am using a 49-39 step down ring made by Kood. A Cosina push on cap fits that ring snuggly making the best lens cap for it!

PS: There is a specific reason why I posted the brand name of the step down adapter ring. That is one of the few that also looks black in IR. Most others look like shiny aluminum reflectors and act like one (in infrared) because their paint is transparent to IR. This may affect those tree branch shots under sunny skies leading to the impression that there is CA. Best to use the supplied hood or a right hood.

Thank you very much Fred!
What I wanna know also is what will be the minimum and maximum distances these combinations will be usable.
For instance will it be possible to take let's say a postcard covering the whole frame.
With the +5 it will not be possible to cover the frame with a Diapos..., but almost I guess.
Will sharpness be equal with +3 and +5
Thank you very much. It looks like one of the best options to travel light.
I bought one of these at your recommendation for the Zony 35/2.8 and it worked very well. However, I’ve just tried it on the APO-Lanthar 50/2 and found it causes vignetting that is obvious at f/2, still noticeable at f/2.8, and just discernible at f/4. Therefore I would strongly advise against this as an alternative hood (unless, of course, you wish to introduce mechanical vignetting).

This is definitely the most compact choice. (or a step down ring)
I use it with my RX1RII to maintain its small size and will try it on the Voigtlander 50/2.
