    supermacro : IKE port for teleconverter or closeup lens ?

    dear all,

    Id' like to shoot occasionally supermacro with Canon 100mm macro USM (non-IS) on a 5dMkII.

    What would be the Ikelite's ports for a
    Kenko "teleplus pro 300" + mentioned lense,
    and/or,
    Canon 250 closeup lense + mentioned lens ?

    If available, manual focus is a plus.

    I already have a Ike flat port for Canon macro 100m, 5508.45. Would I need only a complement, or a full new port ?

    many thanks,

    Laurent

    Hi Laurent

    To use the tele-converter you will need a port that is 3/4" or ~19mm longer, this is assuming that your talking about a 1.4 tele-converter. The reason for this is you have to have enough room / length inside the port to keep the lens from crashing inside. Ports and there lengths can be found here: http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/2port_standard.html . Another option would be to look at the Modular port options: MODULAR PORT SYSTEM

    Have a great day

    thanks Bill,

    yes, it is with the 1.4 TC.
    I've just sent you an email this morning, for a possible 3rd option.
