Since I have ordered one of these lenses I am looking to get the maximum benefit from it.
On a review of the lens someone had taken fantastic pictures of dragonflies with this lens using "a PN-11 extender". I checked this out and it doesn't seem that it is for use with the 300...... or is it ?
My question is simple: is anyone using this lens for 'macro' type photography and if so what extension tubes are you using to get closer. My current 'macro' lens is a 28-300 Tamron with MFD of 39 cm. Anything around 50cm would be okay with the 300 though.
Thanks again,
Lindsay
PS I know that it is not 'real' macro !
