XF1.4X TC WR/XF60mm macro


Gigas

Recommended Posts

The TC design has an element that is considerably proud of the mount about 1.5cm. You physically cannot mount it to any other lens than the 50-140mm and 100-400mm currently. In the case of your 60mm if you tried to mount it it would scratch the rear element of the 60mm lens and still not fit.

 

Ok, I understand the problem. If I put an MCEX-16 in between as somebody did with the 90mm would that work?

I've been wondering as well. There's really only one way to find out. With out spending too much money you can rent what ever missing components you need.

 There is no option like that in this Neck of the woods!

Well this set-up works fine for me as I get a little better WD by a couple of centimeters. I use a small flash on either side of the lens about 30cm apart and the main light comes from the top of the tank. There is a focusing limit for taking head shots and is only fit for smaller children.

I am not sure that both the Raynox AND the tubes are needed to achieve this level magnification and that probably you could get a lot closer than this but I guess that you can make things as complex as you wish.

Yes you are right milandro! This is the magnification I like for the shrimps as they all are about an inch long or a little less. Sure I can get closer with different set-up´s but this works for me! The 11mm tube is only there for the EC-1,4 otherwise this would not fit.Now I got my 84mm macro and I am happy with it!

Interesting idea stacking the lens adaptors, I tried it with my Sigma 50 Art with a 13mm tube on it, on my X-T1, didn't work out well. However putting my old Zeiss 2.4/35 directly adapted on the X-T1 worked out really good as it focuses so close anyway.

My XT 2 with MCEX-16 & 60mm lens will not fire. It appears to be fitted properly - I can focus the lens - and I have a fully charged battery installed. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have any idea why I am fumbling with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

dfaye - embarrassingly, it was user error - didn't have the lens fully connected to body. It works fine.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
