I often use my excellent A50/2.8 Macro as a one lens kit when I go
out for a
casual bush-walk, it's great for capturing flowers and bugs plus
anything a
normal 50mm can tackle. It's actually easier to focus than my fast
50's in good
light.
I find the A50/2.8 Macro OOF rendering a little less than perfect for
general pictorial use, but it's a very good lens for a lot of work
and a fine macro performer.
Question: I have a set of extension tubes, a 2x-S teleconverter, and
the A50 Macro. I'm trying to make the greatest magnification possible
out of the set. I presume the way to do this is to assemble
Camera->Tubes->Converter->Lens
... eh?
I'll be experimenting, but if someone's already done it I'd like to
know.
