Hence, you cannot use the focus or change aperture if the lens is mounted on an extension tube. This makes the lens very awkward to use.<br /><br />Also, the lens is capable of 1:1 magnification, which is very good. I don't see the need for even more Fredrik Gløcknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523430148487818493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-5905803231736942652012-05-08T05:57:26.680+01:002012-05-08T05:57:26.680+01:00Does this lens performs better if I were to use it...Does this lens performs better if I were to use it with a Macro Extension Tube set?<br />Thank youDonald G.H Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670686075745732669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-30363278098296570832012-04-26T11:22:03.642+01:002012-04-26T11:22:03.642+01:00The non functioning supplied lens hood puzzles me....The non functioning supplied lens hood puzzles me. You pay premium for this lens, so a decent lens hood is the least you can expect from Panasonic. The supplied one is not deep enough and it's too wide for a short tele. Maybe it's designed like this to prevent blocking all light or hitting the subject at macro distances? For non macro use, a deeper round screw in lens hood probably will Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-77617608649530971252011-01-15T22:59:08.162+00:002011-01-15T22:59:08.162+00:00One problem with this lens: I wasn't able to f...One problem with this lens: I wasn't able to find a suitable ring flash for it. <br />Has anyone found a suitable ring flash or any other solution?JanvdBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-17568904789344716872010-08-23T13:55:14.547+01:002010-08-23T13:55:14.547+01:00Ok, I see what you mean.

Initially, I though you were asking for a technical sharpness test, with MTF diagrams and so on.<br /><br />I think your suggestion makes good sense. I will try to publish a comparison within around a week. It will be published like a new blog entry, not as changes to this article.
