I have been thinking, if a combination of the MCEX16, the TC 1.4 and the 90mm would be usefull as a macro.

 

I know that the TC will not fit the 90mm. Don't try it, it could damage the lens. With an MCEX16 inbetween it is a different story, though:

This is a sample of only the 90mm at shortest focus distance:

Now let's see a shot with the MCEX 16:

And finally 90mm, MECEX16, TC1,4:

I like the result. What do you think? The magnification should be 0.4 with the MCEX 16mm and 0,56 when adding the TC. It should probably work with other Fuji lenses as well.

In all honesty, it's not that bad at all, since the 90 is already one of the sharpest lens we have currently the extra macro tube and TC doesn't seems to be impacting the performances too much.

 

Did you adjusted the loss of light in post or are all these SOOC Jpegs ?

The pics are SOOC. All shot at f8 and ISO3200 on a tripod. It was a quick test in remaining daylight. I did move the cactus and changed the angle of the camera to position the cactus in the picture. No post processing. AF was on the "white dot." In the EXIF you will see that the timing went down from 1/50s to 1/25s with MCEX and TC. I will probably do some more examples next weekend.

I had the same idea with MCEX and TC, it obviously enough, but unfortunately I don't have neither tube nor TC, so didn't tried it. lol. 

Did you have only one MCEX tube? May be 16+11+TC also is a working combo...

Yes, I only have 16mm MCEX tube.

So I ran into this thread while looking for samples of the 90mm with the MCEX-16 extension.  The 1.4 TC is just icing on the cake.  Thanks for the comparisons.  But seeing the price of the 1.4 TC it's almost better to just buy a manual macro lens with true 1:1 magnification it seems.  Bummer, I was hoping for a all Fujifilm solution.  Was really looking forward to the 120 f2.8 macro till Fuji dropped it :(.

      Unable to view photos in Fuji X Raw Studio

      By Greybeard · Posted

      Thats strange - I have the same camera and latest version of X Raw Studio (1.28.0.2) and it works as expected (using a Mac). Have you tried looking again at the old raw files that you viewed in the past and were working? That way you know its not something specific about these new files. There was a problem with the previous version of X Raw Studio and the latest release of the Mac operating system but that seems to have been fixed.

      Unable to view photos in Fuji X Raw Studio

      By Dancing_Electrons · Posted

      Hi all, It is my first post here. First, I'm not sure if this is a silly issue, but I couldn't find any help online, so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows how to solve it. Sorry if this seems trivial or simple to correct. I had no problems before and was using the software just fine for more than a year. However, it suddenly started not recognising my files (?). As you can see, I select the folder where I transferred my files from the SD card, and nothing shows. The camera is connected and updated. I'm using the latest version of X Raw Studio as well. I tried deleting all the photos from the folder and transferring them again directly from the SD card, but nothing has changed. Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips on what I might be doing wrong and how to fix it? I uploaded two images to show you what is happening.  Thanks!

      Welcome! I‘m pretty sure you had to long press the OK button with the X-T2, and it works the same with other models

      LOCK MENU

      Is there an easy way to activate the lock feature like on my old X-T2 where by pressing and holding the menu button you could activate the lock or do I need to go through the menus to activate???

      TURN OFF CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN (!!!!)

      By TomThom · Posted

      I am very tired of Fuji as a whole... They automatically deny responsibility on issues, quote crazy high repair prices and timeframes and when I accepted a (refurbished" replacement 100-400 instead of a repair because to would be cheaper and faster it developed the exact problem a couple years later, My XT4 is absolutely unreliable because of the turn on turn off issue that has persisted through numerous attempts to fix it and my 10 to 24 would not focus at infinity and struggled to focus at all, and I went through two of them because of focus issues. My sigma is much better.
