Subject: Close Focusing, Macro with istD(s)
Will the Pentax dslr siblings work well with extension tubes and other
close-up gear like the helicoid focusing adapter? I rarely do any macro
work, but sometimes like to get close to show detail for eBay sales or to
just get a little closer or less DOF when using some lenses in the 85mm -
200mm range. If I wanted a wide-ish zoom, which would be a good choice for
close-up work? Has anyone use the M24~35 zoom on one of these cameras?
How'd it work out?
I routinely use a bellows on my istD. You need to put a short extension tube between the bellows and the camera body to allow the bellows to clear the prism projection.
