[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 360469, member: 12496"] The ES-1 is designed for a full frame camera, with a 55mm lens to do 1:1 macro, to copy slides. DX cameras have a smaller cropped frame, so 1:1 would be an unacceptable cropped copy. So DX has to back off to about a 1:1.5 copy. For the 60mm macro lens, this requires about 20mm greater extension than the ES-1 can provide. But the 40mm lens is shorter, a bit less magnification. So yes, multiple users do report that the 40mm macro lens works OK on the ES-1 without the additional extension. See [url=http://www.scantips.com/es-1.html]Scanning thousands of slides?
