[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My "M" macro outfit consists of a Visoflex II and several OUFRO extension tubes, which I use with 35,50,90 and 135 current-version lenses. The 90 Elmarit is an especially nice macro performer, as is the current 50 Elmar. The new TTL M6 should work well with a dedicated module and a TTL ringlight or double-flash macro bracket. One would need to use the upright Otxvo 5x finder for the VIsoflex, to gain access to the hot shoe for the TTL connection.
