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.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
