I often wondered what the 1:1 switch did and having just read up on it, maybe it has a use. The problem is that if you use AF the 1:1 automatically switches off. So you have to use manual Focus.
Having just got back from Bali I realise I am not getting full 1:1 out of many of my shots. In some instances that's a good thing but when you are seeing subjects below 3/4" or 20mm which covers most of what I photograph in Tulamben then setting and leaving it on 1:1 might have some advantage.
Anyone here used the lens like this? If yes what advantages/negatives.
I have always had issues deciding if the lens is at 1:1 or not.
