Fred, Thank you very much and thanks to Lasse too. You seem to know this subject
very well, so I have another question ( well, I am new and enthusiastic); do you
think using an extension tube on the SMC 100 f/4 Macro to extend the ratio to
1:1 is a good idea? If so which do you recommend? Thanks again
Mohamed

Welcome, Mohamed.
Many users like the SE or SG screens for macro use with the MX. The
two screens are the same except for the added grid lines on the SG.
I haven't had to obtain MX screens lately myself, but I think that
they might be a little harder to locate than LX screens. In any
event, you could substitute LX screens for the MX screens, if you
are willing to compensate with the ASA dial (or have your meter
recalibrated), since the LX screens are brighter.
