[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 433523, member: 14443"] nice! a bit processed for my taste but nice comp for sure. CA looks like its quite strong or is it me? yep, same as the one in the link above OP posted. just with no name. theyre all the same gear that comes from china. I had those. they wobble and flex and the contacts dont always work. problem is the build is not great if you use heavier lenses or stack 2 or 3. its mostly palstic. I returned mine and got the all metal ones only because I didnt mind no contacts. I work around it without issues. Im not a big macro shooter and only use it for a few images in a wedding. problem is when you start using 2+ rings the flex is noticeable and the accuracy of focus plays a part because macro needs precise adjustments and this wobble really annoys. thats why I got the all metal. again, shooting manual is no issue for my few still life images I shoot during a wedding. you can find a very cheap set for closeup filters from ebay. 3 filters with different strengths but didnt want to go that way since it WILL reduce IQ. tubes make u lose some light but no issue at all with IQ.
