Hey guys
ive been doing alot of shooting with my 500cm, and 80mm cf t* recently, and getting great results in studio portraits ive been shooting in black and white. It really nice to have a much bigger neg to work with that i was previously used to with 35mm. Anyway, i need some help with extension tubes.
I only have the 80mm at the moment, and while id love to go out and get both the 50mm, and the 150mm, i cant really afford it at the moment. In my portraits, id just like to get a little closer framing, and reserch has told me that i need a small extension tube. Looking about there is an 8mm, and a 10mm. Both seem to provide about the same ratios, but there seems to be a bit of talk about which ones go with which bodies and lenses. Will the 10mm tube work for me, or would the 8 be better- all i want is a slightly tighter framed portrait. Is there any comatablilty issues with either of these tubes with the stuff ive got, or anything else for that matter?
Also, does anyone here use either of these with the 80mm for portraits, and how do you find them? How much does the tube affect quality (im thinking not alot, because theres no glass in them- but am not sure?). Any reccomendation? Sorry for all the questions, and thanks to anyone who replys.
Cheers
