Re: Pentax macro lens with new approach
Makes sense even though it is not obvious. Focusing distance is measured sensor plane to subject, working distance front element to subject. I have a Canon FD 4/200 Macro spec'd at 58 cm focusing distance but the lens extends so much when in macro that working distance is a mere 19 cm. Still way better than my DFA 50/2.8 in close combat =) Cheers Ecke 2009/12/17 Frits Wüthrich : > A working distance of 13 cm in life-size applications, but a minimum > focusing distance of 0,303 m (= 30.3 cm). > Magic. > > Frits > > On 17-12-2009 7:41, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: >> >> In a message dated 12/11/2009 6:12:53 A.M.

A working distance of 13 cm in life-size applications, but a minimum focusing distance of 0,303 m (= 30.3 cm). Magic.

Re: Pentax macro lens with new approach
From: Boris Liberman Feeding modern macro lenses is a necessity of life. That's why many photographers stick to the older lenses, that were able to sustain themselves for much longer period of times without food. Free range macro lenses can forage for themselves. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
