Hi, I`ve just bought this Lens in new Condition mainly for the MACRO use. but don`t know how to set it up for this purpose.

I also have a set of Extension Tubes could these also be used on this Lens?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

It's labelled macro because it has a shorter minimum focus distance. Extension tubes will reduce this distance further but also exaggerate how shallow the depth of field is at any given aperture.

HI Kodiak, I already have this Info but it is no more than a fact sheet and does not explain what setting to use to get the best results.

With 1:3,9 magnification it's far from a macro lens but you can still do some fine close ups.

With 1:3,9 magnification

It says on the Lens 1:2.8.

Is that better.?
