Hopefully you followed the thread and took Johns advice for the Macrolite 67 adapter.

I'd think the MT-24 would be even more important for handheld work, Rick.


Paul - what you need for your 100mm L macro is the Macrolite 67 adapter I linked above.


The thread issue was my exact thoughts when they told me thats what I needed. What is bad is if you go to Canon's website and click on the supplies and accessories for either the MT-24 or the 100mm Macro L, neither one of them list the Macrolite 67 Adapter. How would someone even know it existed or what they would need. I haven't seen anything from Canon that guides us the right way.


Yes the MT-24 would be even more important for handheld work. I thought about what I posted afterwards and knew that didn't sound right. I should have said if I am going on a macro trip, I am taking the 180mm. The 100mm won't get much use with the MT-24 because I use the 100mm as my walk around macro lens I take everywhere. I wouldn't take the extra weight.





I am just going to wait until I can get the right adapters and not have to get step up and down rings.
