You did, Adrian! It's in the manual, effeective f = f x (magnification + 1)

so, f2.8 at 5x = 2.8 x (5 + 1) = f16.8

Also, in the manual the DOF table for different magnifications and f-number:

At 5x, the DOF is 0.095mm at f5.6, and 0.134mm at f8 (!) Any higher, and the Diffraction Troll will eat your shots alive.

Ref. Brian's excellent diffraction post here:

Thanks for the confirmation Eyvind, appreciated.

Thanks a lot Adrian for the information. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but hey, nothing is as easy as it looks. I'll see what I will do. Before even considering buying one I'll try one out at my Canon-dealer. Thanks again.



Whatever you decide good luck matuka, just remember that what you see on forums like this are the best of the shots that we take, any images with errors in focus etc are quickly consigned to the trash can and never see the light of day again, and believe me, on some days the missed shots can greatly outnumber the perfect shots even when you are used to the MP-E. If you do decide to go for it just have fun using it, thats probably as important as getting the perfect shot!
