Screwing a GW-3 on a SMC 15mm limited

rodaballo · 04-11-2017, 08:38 AM

I ask myself if this possibility could be an option to have a sort of big/bulbous "10mm limited". Has anybody tested if the GW-3 would fit in the 15mm limited. What about vigneting? any corner smearing?

Thanks for your input.

I'd love to see some images of the combination. The vignetting would be significant as I have seen such auxiliary lenses vignetting when on a normal lens. I wonder if the vignetting might not add anything extra to the 15mm as the vignetting would force the use of the center of the image, mostly.

That's hilarious. I wish I still had my 15 to try it with. Someone please do so and post up.
