Playing with idea the other day of using DA*300 as a semi close up lens. Can't really call it a macro, but with a little cropping, it does give you a nice distance from the subject and seems sharp enough.
If I could get an extension tube that would autofocus SDM cheap enough, that might be fun... I'd basically have to knock the glass out of something like my Tamron PZ 1.4x TC, (just saying that makes me cringe
)
There would have to be a cheaper better way, heh heh. Besides, most TC are prolly well over 25mm, and I'd prolly not need something so thick, would I, just to get a little closer and keep magnification?
This is so close to "good enough" that I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of chasing the ext tube idea... especially when I have a DFA 100WR in the bag too. Anyone else try this? Thoughts?
