Hi guys....
Last week i just bought an 100mm sns port which i'm planning to move from 60mm to 100mm L series....
But surprisingly when i set the port using 60mm lens (Tamron 60mm) it fit and no viggnete....
It work great.... now i'm wondering since there is a gap.... i'm starting to itching to fill that extra gap....:D
What do you guys recommend? just add an extension tube (cheaper) and make my 60 focus more closer(the 1st rule of uw photo:D)
or add an teleconveter 1.4x or the 2x make my 60mm become 84mm and 120mm (is it good focal length since i also buy the 100mm)??
Really need ur opinion....

Thanks
 
I shoot the Tamron 60 with a Kenko 1.4 Pro teleconverter all the time. It is great to have a bit more magnification (40%) but you will need a good focus light. Extension tubes work OK but I would strongly recommend the 1.4 tele.

thx bro for the reply...
the tamron 60 add 1.4 will be 84.... does it still shoot big fish... or will it be the same like the 100mm
 
Autofocus works well and infinity focus is fine, unlike with extension tubes where you lose infinity focus
