Port/gear combo for canon supermacro (sea+sea)

3 posts
  1. Hi. I'm going on a trip shortly and would like to add some sort of supermacro capability to my setup. What I have is 2 canon 5d's and the sea + sea housings for them. I have a stadard macro setup with the canon 100mm lens + a focus gear.

     

    What I'd like to know is is there a port + focus gear combination that will work for a canon 100mm (or other lens) + a teleconverter (kenko?), to give me >1:1. I'm prepared to buy the lens (want another macro lens anyway) + accessories + ports if I can figure out what would work.

     

    Any help appreciated!

  2. The easiest would be to just take the Tele and a port extension and move your AF on the *Button. Works just as good as manual focus. The 100mm works very nice with a Tele ... i tried the combination on a 30D and a 40D and AF works faster, than i expected. So it should be even better on your 5D.

  3. What combo of ports and extension rings are you using?
