[QUOTE="Bourbon Neat, post: 476956, member: 37727"] Today I plowed dirt with the Raynox on the 60mm, no harm done as ours is mostly sand and it is dry and loose. See below. [ATTACH=CONFIG]170744._xfImport[/ATTACH] Tomorrow evening I try another lens with more working distance. The Tamron 60mm is light, short and like a 90mm on the DX, so far so good. With the Raynox attached there has been a lot more escapers, hence going to try the 180mm Tamron. According to specs it has a good 10" working distance (18.5" minus the lens length and ffd) we will see. If ratios are the same with the 60mm, the 180 should not get closer than 4" with the Raynox attached. That is close to the working distance with just the 60mm at 1:1. When getting super close, I lose light from the flash diffuser. The lens is so close it shadows the subject. Maybe another design mod will work better or the extra working distance of the longer lens will not need adjustment. This is one camo grasshopper.
