tonight i was playing around with time-lapses and all that and even with my 18-55mm right out it still wasnt very wide so ive been looking around and found an okay ebay site for extensions aand shit.
wide angle lens/ macro and what would i use this for?

[captain_awesome]

ive got a wide angle adapter (0.5) and i'll put up some shots i've taken with it and an 28-80 when i get the body. As for the extension tube im not sure, do some googleing maybe

just read the ebay page "This macro extension tube set is suitable for all Canon cameras. Transform your Lens into a Macro Lens. It moves the lens from the film or digital sensor. The closer the focus is, the greater the magnification. The extension tube does not affect image quality as there is no optics inside. In comparison, a close up filter is often blamed for degrading the quality of image. Auto-focus function cannot operate.

This tube set consists of 3 individual tubes, camera body mount and a lens adapter. The 3 individual rings can be used separately with the camera body mount and a lens adapter, and of course the magnification ratio will be different."

Basically extension tubes move the glass elements further away from the sensor and allows the lens to focus much closer than it originally could (if you did physics it would help - same principle that is used in glasses that help people with short/long sightedness)

A- physics this term. yeah i read that and understood it, just wondering would it have much effect on the quality of the photo, and has anyone here bothered to use one instead of spending a grand on a proper macro.

[captain_awesome]

what about tele converters used in lenses such as this

[kc_bodyboard]

what do yous mob think of dis
'SPIRATONE MC 400mm / 800mm Super-tele Lens CANON EOS EF'

[captain_awesome]

apart from i want it

[kc_bodyboard]

same, im very interested, im just wondering what price it'll get to.

[captain_awesome]

not sure, youve got a job so just put in the most your willing to spend on it and then you might get it, and im pretty sure if peope on bid 300 and you put in 500 it would only be a bit over 300

[captain_awesome]
