Very often I’ve played with various lenses, tubes, close-up filters and reverse-mount rings. But I actually never did a big test on my various lenses to see how they perform in the macro realm with all the tricks I could think of. So now I finally decided to do all the macro tests using all of the lenses, rings and adapters I could find in my camera bag. Some worked really bad, some worked really well. Some were a real surprise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Lenses I used in this test<\/strong><\/p>\n I used all of the glass I have laying around. These are the lenses I tried to “macrofy”:<\/p>\n On each lens I did tests that seemed to make sense, plus I measured the magnification each of the setup would give me.<\/p>\n Camera and other hardware<\/strong><\/p>\n For all of the test shots I used a simple tape measure as the subject. I used my 6D, and took all of the test shots at f\/11 unless noted differently. For lighting I used my Nissin Di866 mkII flash unit mounted at an 45 degree angle:<\/p>\n\n
