Cheers for the new collection. You will not regret in getting the 100mm macro. I guess the lens & the people here gave you the final decision!

Welcome.

Billy thanks huh

Vincent,
This is the guy I reserve the 100mm. There is one more guy selling.

Benetay, yes the actual feel of the lens and the users here help to make up my mind. And luckily managed to find a used one, which can save some cost for me.

try to get the hood if it does not come with one. it helps to prevent things from touching your lens during field trip.

**trident** · 23rd Jan 2008, 19:26

Choy,
Thanks, will check with the seller.

Congrats Richard! For small discus very good. Not good for competition events though. Have to stand very far away because the fishes are soooo big.

**trident** · 23rd Jan 2008, 20:49

Stan,
agreed. can use 50mm to shoot adult discus.
but would be good for small fries and .....apistos!
I am really looking forward to the ST-E2 and the 100mm
to start shooting the smaller fishes

**StanChung** · 23rd Jan 2008, 21:10

Agree! Fries are definitely better with the 100mm and adults 50-60mm.
Pity my 35-70 zoom closest focussing is not very near!

**Shadow** · 23rd Jan 2008, 22:33

can you put those 500D thinggy? Nikon equivalent maybe

**luenny** · 24th Jan 2008, 10:10

Congrats Richard,
We can go shoot more often now that you're getting your new lens.

That is a filter, just like Hoya, B+W etc, it can be use regardless of brand as long as the threading is the same.

PS: I am not marketing for the company, just a site to get the price, see the picture, get some info and compare with local price. I had not purchase anything with them at all.

**Shadow** · 24th Jan 2008, 10:46

it said "The 500D is geared for lenses with a focal length anywhere from 70 to 300mm"

What happen if it is attached to lenses with focal length lower than 70?

just wondering

Probably you will hit the insect

**illumnae** · 24th Jan 2008, 21:03

can't wait for you to get your new lens richard!

**Simon** · 24th Jan 2008, 21:12

250D for 50-135mm and 500D for 75-300mm, equivalent in optical quality is the Nikon 3T to 6T, if I remember correctly, the 250D is has a 1.5 diopter factor, the 500D is 3.0 diopter

**Shadow** · 24th Jan 2008, 21:18

will this add on lens/filter digrade the lens sharpness? Off course the add say no but in real life?

**Simon** · 24th Jan 2008, 21:23

no, it will not degrade quality, unless your lens is already bad in the first place

. However, I wouldn't say the same about the other brands like Hoya. The close up filter from canon and nikon are of superior quality compared to the cheaper glass, price differences can be alot as well

**benny** · 24th Jan 2008, 23:06

I believe the Canon/Nikon ones are not single element close up filters. Should be a 2 element construction. Hence the premium on the prices.

Cheers,
