Lo peeps

As above are there good ones and bad ones, or are they all pretty much the same?

There are some mighty cheap ones on the auction site, quite tempted to get myself a set!

would only be using them for 50mm anyways so thats not a problem.

MF doesnt really bother me either, gotta be a bargain @ £18.99 delivered

I've got the cheap ones off the auction site, as everyone says they have no electrical contacts so the aperture at its widest, and force you to use manual focus. They do allow you to focus ridiculously close to things, but it's difficult with insects (my favourite macro subject) which are constantly moving. With this and such a shallow depth of field, it sometimes feels like a game of chance managing to get a decent photo.

I've actually been using mine about 5 minutes ago before I saw this thread, I'll check out my pictures and see how good they were.

Cheers matey

Can you upload a pic or 2?

Cheers
