What's the difference between the " old " macro 90mm and the new one?

Hello again and thanks for all your help regarding this lens.
Will the version one lens work in the retracted (closed) position without the macro adapter (newer adapter or older adapter) in the 90mm position (for a portrait not for macro)?
Thank you,
Mark

No. Without an adapter the lens - either versions - must be extended.

Not sure what you mean by 90mm position, being a 90mm lens, but i never tried this so far. I suspect you would get a blurred portrait.

Thank you, yes, what you said.
Does it work with the newest macro adapter fully retracted?
Thx again.
Mark

Yes

But remember, the new adapter must be used with either live-view or the EVF.

... or with the optical rangefinder and the lens set to infinity. This would work for example for landscape shots in most scenarios but not for portraits.

Just to recall than the macro adapter v2 is not coupled to the rangefinder. Little point in using it in RF mode then. There is the macro adapter v1 for that.

Hello all, interesting read, I bought the "old goggle version set" 11629 and am waiting for delivery.

The set is complete, only thing missing is the manual.

I searched far and wide for a while, but it seems I am not able to find one online.

Is there anybody who might be able to help me out with a scan of the manual?

Greatly appreciated, Reginald

Mostly in French, I am afraid. Welcome to the forum.
