Originally posted by BigMackCam Thanks so much for the excellent examples, Ed - that's really helpful and much appreciated The 100/2.8 macro turns in an impressive performance, with nice rendering too. One I'll have to add to my list of possible acquisitions...
Thank you kindly Mike, very glad to contribute.
FYI - The Sony 100/2.8 Macro and the MAF is the same lens, optically... MAYBE more modern AF added?
Also, as well as with the MAF 50/2.8 Macro:
These (50/2.8 and 100/2.8 Macros) have about 3 different versions easily ID'd by the barrel/focus ring/name engraving.
The early version feature a more metallic construction, whilst the latters more plastic. Same optics. MAYBE different AF/Coatings.
For the MAF 50/2.8 Macro - I have 2 copies of the early version
For the MAF 100/2.8 Macro - I have 1 copy of the 2nd version
Dyxum does a great job at showing the different versions of the lenses...
