Will do, after the dive.

My guess is that picture 1 is using mfo-1, considering the magnification.

but I think picture 2 is better for sharp quality.

I think the difference between the two pictures is very small.

The magnification is perhaps a position "issue" ..

I also find the second better.... but the differences are really small

I don't know wicht one is with the MFO1....

The visual difference between the photos is noticeable to a pixel peeper, but naturally, I can't judge the difference in the lens's user experience (range and AF).

Two questions come to mind:

Does the image quality (mfo-1 effect) depend on the lens used?

Is it worth spending €500?

Thanks for posting the images...👍👍👍

The difference is really small, according to my subjective judgement. When I look directly on the screen, the lower one looks a little bit more contrasty (could be easily changed with LR in postprocessing with one of the contrast sliders). When I download the images and magnify them on my screen, the upper one shows a little bit more detail...

Which lens was used (camera was OM-1?)?

=> Now I would like to have someone post similar comparisons with the Sony 90mm macro and FF...

The MFO does add a bit of magnification in my hands.

Here is a weird sea cucumber (I thought it was a Phylidia) at first. The top photo is without the MFO the bottom with ( you can see a bit of magnification). I tried really hard to keep the camera/subject distance the same but we are in Triton Bay at full moon.

This is with the Oly 60 macro, OM1 and two AOI RC strobes in RC mode.

Differences are indeed subtle, the focus speed improvement is quite noticeable.

When we get back home, I will bring a tripod and target to the pool for some more scientific tests.

nomfo4 is way sharper - it seems that mfo4 is not in focus...

Anyway I am thankful for these interesting comparison shots...👍

Thanks Bill. In the first series, I think the first photo is with MFO - a little more magnification and sharp. The second series of the sea cucumber has some fall off of sharpness and a bit more magnification. How was the MFO in giving you working distance at the far end? Just over a meter, by spec?

(Side note - all the cameras I've used have had some difficulty locking focus on smooth nubbly pink phyllidias. It's probably me and my eyesight.)
