You meant "from the point of view of dof" not exposure. Smile

This was wrong. I meant DOF. The spreading of light to effect exposure is relevant to extensions, magnifications and TCs and is not about sensor size.

Correct!

I have two of these lenses and willing to sell one, if somebody is interested.

Have you tried reversing one on the other for macro? Laugh 1

Not a serious proposition.

One technique is to reverse a lens onto the front of another mounted normally on the camera. The combined diopters and short focusing distance can give good results. It is far more likely that two 50mm lenses would be used than two 350mm. However, maybe nobody has been in your unique position of owning two.

I've got two Tamron 500mm f/8 (catadioptric) lenses as well. That would look even more impressive (and stupid, I guess) to use them as 'twin-lens-reverse'-macro set-up.
Although I seriously doubt if it's possible to use catadioptric lenses this way.
But if somebody has a 82mm coupling ring laying around I am willing to give it a try (and no, I am not willing to duck-tape them together Wink).

If it would work I would get a 500mm macro lens that gives a 1:1 magnification. (The main lens mm divided by the reversed lens mm gives the stacked lens magnification).
And that would be very hard to work with I reckon.

This makes me think: does anybody know what the focal-lenght of the longest 'normal' macro-lens is? (200mm according to me, but is that so?)

Well, that setup would make about the slowest macro lens ever made... Twisted Evil

I have a 800mm Long Distance Microscope, not really "normal" for the normal guy in the streets, but for me it is Wink

The Olympus 4/3 70-300mm ED does 1:2 at 300mm.

I am not that much into macro-photography. So I had never heard of Long Distance Microscopes.

But I must say; a whole new world opens up for me Smile.

OK, not bad...but did you have a look at those Long Distance Microscopes? Wink

With DOF of around 0.05mm, I wouldn't have a use. I have avoided looking up the prices as I have a blood pressure problem Very Happy

OK, that blood pressure problem is not good news. Does it make you cough as well?

If so, you can cough up some more money to buy an (electronic controlled) automated motorized focus stacking macro rail.

That solves the 0,05 DOF-problem Wink .

I do my macro hand-held. I would need some bionics first! Smile

Guys, your veering off massively here. This is a thread about the Tamron SP 350mm mirror lens. Stay with that please!

I'm about to cut all this unrelated discussion off and place in in a seperate thread named, well not sure yet.. Twisted Evil

And btw e6filmuser, macro starts per definition at 1:1 (1x), you talk about "close-up" ....

Off topic & cross posting enrich rather than detract from a discussion imho.

The last sentence appears to contradict the request of the first.

By whose definition is macro 1:1? References please!

Not in the macro forums I subscribe to. Not that it matters. It's arbitrary.

Only slightly off-topic:

I just discovered that deep in my closet I have a third copy of these Tamron 350 f/5.6 lenses laying around.


Might this be some indication that I have lens lust ?

Two shots with the lens on m4/3. The first at a distance of ca 150 feet, the second at closer to 15 feet. The first was with my back to the sun, the second with it to my left. The images are uncropped.

Rather than start a new thread, I'm adding to this one. This is the last of many mirrors I've acquired and the best at closer distances. Quite amazing, actually, for a mirror.
