old man Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 A bit of info. Digital lens fittings are different to the older film types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to buy adaptor rings and use an older lens? 52 minutes ago, old man said: Thanks for that. wasn't aware, my old ones became worthless. What camera and lens do you have, some of these old cameras are still worth a few bob, I have an old Cannon AE-1 SLR and 4 different FD lens, looked on eBay and they are asking £150+ with lens, body without lens £50-£75.

I have a range of non digital lenses. They give approx 1 & 1/2 or so extra magnification. Well worth buying. I have a +4 macro adaptor to fit any Canon lens with a 58mm filter, if itll help.

I've just put a Canon 250 CU attachment on a nice little lens I got from here. Tried it on my Sigma zoom to no avail. Then put it on step-son's Subject lens. The result now reflects why I also want one. I'm on the I-pad now but will post the quick snap I took while comparing the differing magnifications shortly.

Too rich for me - I think that'll be the stablised version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&W FOX Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 They don't do a I.S. version of a 100mm macro. It is possible to shoot them hand held though. The auto focus goes a bit mental on them when using it with a 1DX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not try the plus filters, +1 through to 4 but best used on a tripod. Difficult not to get a little camera shake especially outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
