I do have step ups ( of course, I am a retro nutter
) but typically nothing for 55mm thats any help at all. I tried the sun test and it was inconclusive at best. Lens/filter wont come to a sharp point it produces a weird helix looking effect or nothing at all. Tried it on a 135mm and it does shorten the minimum focus distance by about 30cm. Which would seem a bit pointless to me. Who knows maybe macro folk have withered legs and cant move 12” closer to a target.
What I did notice though is the DOF ‘seems’ much shallower with this thing on the lens. I cant scientifically prove that right now. I would need to make up a test target and that seems a bit mad and a rigamarole.
Putting it over printed material seems to produce not much in the way of magnification.
Think I will just throw it up on ebay for 99p and see if anyone wants it. Misc camera stuff with no known application.
