• Anyone have good first-hand experience of 2x or greater macro?

    I have the Canon 100mm macro but looking at the Laowa 100mm 2x and wondering about the difference (apart from 'well, twice the magnification...'). Would be interested to see the same subject through both lenses from same position etc.

    Separately still tempted by this: https://cvp.com/product/laowa-ve2414cc-24mm-f14-2x-macro-probe-canon-ef-ci

  • Good question. Yes I have experience with this. It’s a nightmare frankly, the depth of field becomes stupid small, you need stupid amounts of light, and then you have to deal with diffraction and reciprocity failure simultaneously.

    Why not rent a Canon MPE 65 to see what it’s like?
