So are you using the PL with the diopters not at infinity? Many older zooms
seemed to perform best with diopters used like that but no clue with the PL
100-400. Not sure if you tried your Minolta 0 lower power one but then using
some of the
internal extension on the PL to achieve higher mag? Again JS had said he did
not like any diopter greater than 1.0 on a 300mm lens (FF). Perhaps PL Minolta
diopter combo is better for lower mag but the lens itself can go to 0.25
natively.
I was away when you posted yet another detailed fly image using the mcon-PO2
with the GM-5 and the tiny 35-100. That seemed to work very well but I only
viewed the image on my phone. I wonder what power diopter that is?--I suspect
in the 2 range but don't really know.
While traveling I would put some extension on that same lens which works well
but is a tad slower and fussier. Can't say I chased too many flies in the alps.
No fly zone, puzzled with all the permutations , Mike
