On the 135mm the main problem is focusing close in. There is a pretty wide gap between 5 and 6 feet. Once the images merge I find it hard to fine tune the focus. There seems to be a pretty wide distance where the images still look pretty much merged. Also I have a hard time focusing on small objects like leaves. But I'm getting better with practice!
That will definitely help then. The effect is hard to describe, but instant to see. A couple of further comments, from personal experience:

1. It's a push-fit, quite snug, but be careful not to knock it off if you have the camera over your shoulder or in a pocket. I have found mine at the bottom of a pocket more than once.

2. Make sure you put it on the right window, otherwise you will turn your whole world orange!

Regards,

Bill
