russell Posted August 4, 2007 Share #21 Posted August 4, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mine is not marked to .9m it just can focus there. I dont think they marketed it that way. I think resistance from 3m to 10m is from the bottom piece. From 10m to inf is the "wings". I dont know what purpose those wings are supposed to serve. I'm thinking of shaving them off the body.

Those wings prtect the rear element if you set your lens down on that end without a rear cap on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted August 4, 2007 Share #23 Posted August 4, 2007 Not those wings. If you read my link you'll see the "wings" on the body in one of the photos. I think I circled them in yellow. Those I call "wings" because their on either side of the body. The metal protecting the lens when you set it down, I refer to as a "shroud" . Yes, I know this protects the glass. I filed down a portion of mine - as you can see in the post. There still remains enough to protect the glass. Sorry for the confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
