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.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      So I ended up getting and X-H2 over the X-T5 because of a good deal that came up.  Needing to buy a card, I needed to figure out,  what is the real impact of a card's speed for photos?   In particular, I'm going to test how shooting at 15 FPS will differ between: Angelbird - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512 GB and Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress SX - 160 GB. How many shots can I get off before buffer fills, and how long does it take for the buffer to clear?    MOP: X-H2 Factory rest, card formated, no lens (body cap on), performance boost on, manual exposure, mechanical SS @ 1/8000, IS off, Shoting RAW Compressed Lossless with only one card in. Held shutter release till buffer filled, and used stop watch to see how long for buffer to clear. Subtracted two frames from total taken as that's how long it takes me to release the trigger once the buffer is full. Repeat 2x for sanity check.   ***TEST RESULTS***   ~~~64GB Lexar Pro SD 150MB/s~~~ 75 shots to fill buffer, 36 Seconds to clear it   ~~~Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB~~~ 251 shots to fill buffer, 5 Seconds to clear it   .~~~Angelbird AV Pro SE 512GB~~~ 232 shots to fill buffer, 4 Seconds to clear it     ***Conculsion***   If burst shooting an X-H2 at 15 FPS is your thing, buy the Anglebird 512GB SE for the same price as the 160GB SX.   Below is a shot on X-T2 w/ the Fuji 70-300. I manged to fluke it off with a dead battery by turning the camera off and on again, and squeezing three more shots out (this was the last shot).   Ta for now!

      Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe you changed unintentionally a setting?

      X-s10 with Fujinon 16mm 1.4 autofocus issue

      By Etienne B · Posted

      Hello. I have a x-s10 that I use multiple lenses with. Yesterday I noticed that with the Fujinon 16mm lens I'm having issues auto-focusing. It works on video but not for still images. When I half press the button it focuses a bit then when I release the button it snaps back to the previous focus point. Even though it manages to focus the image is still blurry. Any ideas please. I already did a a major google search and nobody has mentioned this issue. Thanks, Etienne
