nifty 50 1.8 used as a macro?

ugurmebe,





Thats a neat shot but my only fear would be using a zoom lens like that is the rear mount isdesigned to take the weight of the lens the front floatingpart of the lens is now holding up the rear. That to me needs to have a warning of "don't try this at home" if you asked me. I personally wouldn't subject my 24-105 to that stress.

hey Fred,


i've worried about that myself, its one of the
reasons i used it only twice. for those 2 instances i always tried wedging a small book under the lens to help relieve the stress on the front. still felt iffy though. it was more for the novelty of it than anything else
