RDX-450D Macro Tip for Canon xsi owners

[guamrider]

If you're looking for a way to save some money and also get a great Canon lens for macro work, here's a tip.

Instead of getting the adapters and ports for macro shooting
the standard port on the RDX will easily hold the Canon 60mm EF-S USM f2.8 lens. After lots of measuring and getting the lens, here's what I've found out.

There's no need for a focus ring as it's fully auto focus. It will also hold the lens plus a Kenko extension tube so that will give you some great macro capabilities.

I've been testing it with all of the extension lens individually but haven't had a chance to get in the water yet. As soon as I do I'll post some pix.

Yes, I have same setup with guamrider, 60mm macro lens work well behind std port.

But now I'm more with 100mm, not because I don't like 60mm setup, I like shoot supermacro with 100mm + TC setup.
