Bought one of these recently but didn't research it very well. Thought it would do 1:1 but only goes 1:2 or something.
Initial happy snaps indicate the AF assist isn't accurate (will need to do some testing) but using Live View is accurate. Tried to go outside and take a picture of a bee but it was too windy so retreated inside and setup an executive toy (thing you turn upside down and watch while pretending to work) on the window sill. Here's a picture of that.
Next I aimed it at my son, and took this (K7, 1/125sec @ f5.6, 1250ISO, handheld using Live View, resized and slight unsharp mask applied)
This is a un-sharpened 100% crop.
And the same with some un-sharp mask applied
Might have to try it on my K10D with split screen and see how that goes, but pretty happy with it. Has potential.
Anyone have one of these and what's your opinion?
