<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 2535915, member: 31773"]I believe this lens was designed for transferring 16mm to 35mm in reverse (2:1 magnification), or 70mm to 35mm forward (1:2 magnification). Both cases involve the target to be 35mm, full-frame, so I would expect excellent performance on full-frame sensors, though I can't test this as I don't own a FF camera. Eventually I will buy one, and then a whole new round of lens testing will occur to find those lenses that have adequate coverage for the larger sensor!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding subject size vs focal length vs working distance, this all depends on your minimum bellows extension. Every new combo of focal length, minimum extension, working distance, magnification/subject size, etc is unique, and I find the limitations are often counter-intuitive. They of course make sense after I see the result, but prediction is not easy....I suppose this is a long-winded way to say "you'll need to try it yourself"...Ray[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
