Set to close focus and focus with bellows extension.
Makes perfect sense--likely should explicitly say that somewhere in eSIF.
An excellent on topic OM point.
OMG!!! NO!!
I wasn't there.
I didn't do it.
Nobody saw me.
You can't prove a thing!
BTW the 50 F2 macro has certain je ne sais quoi just used as a normal 50. I
should get mine out for some exercise.
One of my earliest posts when I found this list was a query as to how/why the 50/2.0 was superior to the 50/3.5 for
macro work and 50/1.4 for regular work, as Gary's tests showed the macros to be equal from f5.6 to f11, where macro work
would be done, and the last 50/1.4s to be better at the wider apertures.
As I recall, Gary responded that he thought, based on later practical use, that his tests on that particular 50/2
somewhat understated larger aperture performance - something like that.
Never did get a 50/2. The 50/3.5 worked so beautifully for flat field copy work
and I didn't need another good normal 50.
