500D and 70-200 For Macro

You'll need an exceptionally small penis with a small set of nuts and a giant chip on your shoulder to make your efforts worth anyone's viewing time. Have you ever stopped to wonder why you're the only one that mentions male genitalia when you imagine that you are engaged in a conversation with another male? Really, think about it. Ask yourself why those are always some of the foremost topics in your own mind when addressing others, and is not a consideration in the mind of anyone else. The rest of us already know why these topics are always on your mind, now it's just a matter of you trying to figure it out. What a sad little closet-case that you are. Overtly obvious, but sad. You so desperately keep trolling for masculine involvement on the internet but it'll never fill that gaping closet-case hole of yours. Try to find what you are after in real life then you don't have to be such an obvious close-case troll on the internet. Do try to stay on topic and not let your unfulfilled homosexual needs get in the way of that, would you? That's a good chap. Thanks. We'll all appreciate it. Why oh why do these insecure closet-cases try to use the internet to come out of the closet. I can only guess because it's the safest way for them. Nobody in their personal life has to know who they are. How pathetically and immaturely sad. The people that I know who are gay and secure with their lives just look down on these kinds of insecure fools with a glance of abject pity. How pathetically sad. And now, back to something photography related .... |

I've never really been into macro, but after seeing some of the photos on juzaphoto it seems like there's a whole new world out there with macro I've yet to experiment with. So, instead of buying a macro lens, I am considering using a 500D on a 70-200. It seems that it will only make it half life size (0.50) @ 200mm, but has the advantage of maybe having a better working distance and also won't take up much room in the bag meaning I will always have it with me. The other option is using Kenko extension tubes on my 50mm lens, whereby using the 36 and 12 extension tubes will effectively make it just under life size, but is maybe not as flexible and will suffer from more light loss than the 500D. I know the 500D is no replacement for a proper macro lens, but anyone have any experience using a 500D with a 70-200? Yes I have a Canon 500D +2 diopter 2-element closeup lens (77mm thread) and use it on the front of a 70-200/2.8 VR and other lenses with step-down rings. Great for butterfly & bee chasing with the VR & no light loss. Where it suffers is reflective subjects such as shiny insects, there is more flare/ghosting from reflections back & forth between all those chunks of glass. The bokeh suffers too with those kinds of strong highlights. As with extension tubes, it's going to be asking more from the center of the lens than the lens was designed for. Speaking of centers... I've used the 500D on a 300mm f/2.8 (112mm thread) by cutting a 77mm hole in a makeshift plastic cap and that works fine because at closest focus you only use the center anyways. So a smaller one might work on a 70-200. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

It's hard to say if it's worse though, I'd need a 200mm macro lens to compare. I couldn't find examples of that but here's some of/with the 500D http://edgehill.net/Misc/misc-photos...-07-cpu/pg1pc3 http://edgehill.net/Misc/photography/9-20-07-300mm http://edgehill.net/Misc/photography...7-macro/pg1pc3 Parts of the image washed out? -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

I've never been in the closet, being perfectly at ease with my sexuality, my great raging repressed Queen friend. Why don't you drop me a line and come to see me? I'm sure we'll find something more interesting to do than fiddle with exposures, unless that's what you'd like, of course. Kissy, kissy. As ever, yours, Barack O'Bugger |
