Subject: Stacking lenses for macro.
Gang,
Does anyone have a recommendation for lenses that can be stacked to give
approximately 4x ?
John Shaw warns in his book "closeups in nature" that not all combinations
stack
well together, and between the lines I read that very few actually do.
I use an FA50/1.4 lens reversed in front of an A*200/4 macro. This
combination
gives 4x magnification, but has some problems with low contrast and
serious
problems at small apertures (refraction?).
Which lens are you using for the aperture?
You might want to consider a non macro lens for the rear lens.
