Hi Folks,

Anyone has experience with this lens? How good is it say relative to Micro Nikkor 105mm f2.8 or f4.

Thx.

A very good lens, optimized and best at 1:1 (1x). Data is here:

Micro Nikkors 105mm are not optimized for that, but for smaller magnifications.

This is a close-up diopter lens to get even closer (2x instead of 1x). See also:

I have used it to make slide duplicsates.Works well. I never got around to testdigital 1:1 snaps vs. vuescan, but the multiple contols of mr. hamrich may perhaps leave s 1:1snaps in the dust.

I've used the 2nd (auto?) version of this lens on a bellows and on the Olympus variable extension tube, and it seems to work well. In the 0.5x to 1.0x macro/closeup range, it seems to be about as good as the Canon EF 100mm Macro lens.

With this lens, I think the main limiting factors on image quality are things like focus, DOF, shake, lighting, skill, etc. -- not the lens itself.
