As a recent convert to Fujifilm I purchased a NIK - FX convertor in order to use some of my old lenses that would other wise have sat in a draw. I had used a Tamron 70-300mm Tele Macro on my Nikon and although it has its limitations, always did a good enough job for me with the limited amount of macro I have fun with. I also purchased a Fujifilm MCEX-16 prior to the convertor to utilize my Fuji lenses for macro use.
It then occurred to me that if I put the converter onto the Tamron lens and then in series, the MCEX-16, would I then potentially increase the macro ability of the Tamron on the camera. I think the answer is no, as on further reflection, all the MCEX-16 function does is to place the lens a specific distance away from the sensor. Putting the convertor in between just increases that distance and therefore renders it useless. Am I correct or is there a solution - also interested that with this set up there appears to be nothing on the sensor as the back screen is dark, even when pointing directly to a light source. I have switched the screen settings to 'shoot without lens' and also with it on.
