Originally posted by marcusBMG I agree with pacer I have pretty much given up on the 01F for use with my 31A or 60B, but the 014F is better, particularly on the 60B. Though I have to take my hat off to your results with the 01A +01F!
Thanks for the advice & the compliment!
Marcus, are you really talking about
this 31A? Plus the 1.4X tele? Wow, that's a monster - 280-700mm! I suppose you're using that with a Q...
I do have the 01A, but I don't have any long adaptalls - just a 35-135 (22A) and a couple of 70/80-210mm (103A & 158A), none of which I'm currently using and all of which I'm thinking of selling. If I had a quality 300mm like the 60B, I would be inclined to keep the 1.4X indeed. But so far, long isn't my thing. And when I need a little reach, the HD DA 55-300mm has served me very well...
As for macro, the 01F gave me good results with the 01A, so I think it should be pretty decent with the 52BB, and having a 1:1 180mm seems quite preferable to having a 1:1.4 126mm, no? I really don't think the 1.4X is bringing much to the table for me...
