just ran a quick test with a few lenses: A50/1.7 (+tc) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+tc) 100/2.5 VC1 macro the tc is viv. 2x macro and results srprise me quite a bit. (1) 16-45 has significantly more contrast than 50/1.7, (2) even with a tc it's approaching a dedicated macro lens (3) every lens outresolves the sensor significantly.
if anyone cares to see the files, let me know. best, mishka On 4/7/06, Rob Studdert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7 Apr 2006 at 20:54, Mishka wrote: > > > wouldn't this work:: > > 1. shoot a scene w/ a lens, > > 2. shoot it w/ the same lens + a tc > > see if (2) tc gives more detail > > ? > > Assuming it's a matched and high enough resolution TC, yes.
