terrycioni Posted March 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings. Just wondering if anyone is using the 90mm Macro Elmar with the adapter on the M8. I guess the other question is can one use this lens without the adapter on the M8? Cheers. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roubaix Posted March 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 26, 2007 Yes. I use the 90 in both circumstances and I love it. Super compact tele. Nothing to compare it with, however. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted March 26, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 26, 2007 Me too. My only gripe is the lens hood - it's of the type that reverses over the lens but in use, it makes the lens as big as the 90/2.8 which defeats the compactness somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmerideth Posted March 26, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2007 Terry, The 90 and the adapter are much easier to focus, IMHO, than my viso probably due to my old eyes. And my success rate is much higher with the 90/adapter. I was lucky and found a mint but used combo and the 90/4 gives the 90/2.8 elmarit a good run. The biggest limitation is the range or image size of 1:3 at a maximum that can be obtained. It demands some creativity. To me, it is a prctical partial solution but the SLR macro lens still reigns. g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
