Super Macro with Nauticam SMC

[Tigerman]

isn't a 7D a crop sensor?

Yes, by a factor of 1.6x

And I need to Google this Nauticam SMC as I use a 7D with a 100mm F2.8L macro myself

I have tried it with the 60mm Canon 2.8. Working distance is short (1 inch) and not as much magnification when you try to get a reasonable 2 inch from lens. I would recommend it with 100mm not the 60mm

Here's two from yesterday's dives. Also, in Anilao. Seems I won't be using my 60mm for awhile.

Candy Crab - About 15mm long

Orangutan Crab - About 10mm long.

I have used the SMC with my Tamron 60 and the 1.4 teleconverter. Amazing. I will try to dig up some recent pics.

Hi Bill, what is the effective working distance with the teleconverter + smc? Does that in effect make make your 60mm a 84mm focal length?

If it works the same as on land 60mm+1.4x tc=84mm x 1.25 magnification of water due to flat port=105mm x any crop factor multiplication

Teleconverters do worsen the image though am not sure to what extent at macro level, if it is CA this can be eliminated. With my 70-200 on land I do get some loss of sharpness

This was taken using a Canon 60mm and SMC so it's certainly possible to use the SMC with Canon 60mm. Also taken in Anilao.

Deitsch, how close were you to the subject? results look good. Wondering what working distance.

Took this Pygmy Seahorse portrait yesterday also using the 100mm +SMC.
