I have the 90 mm and it's fantastic (imo). Hence I've just parted with all my FF macro kit

I picked one up last week, OMG....

Few from last week... OM5, Canon 200 2.8L and Viltrox EF-4/3 adapter.

Terrific combo in my opinion,. And yes I even get C-AF.

Only things that the adapter doesn't work well on - is on the OM1 series (Olympus) the AF is crap. Whereas the 5 series it's terrific, I had the EM5 II many moons ago and that was good...

Not sure why or what the issue with the AF on the fancier models is but hey. I wholeheatedly recommend this adapter to any 5 series users. Get yourself some nice Canon glass and you're laughing from the bank.

PS. Also used the 100-400 canon L on it. Pretty damn good too!

Lovely and really shows how big a wingspan they have.

Though it is oh so tight in the frame.

I thought that might be the case as was fairly sure you would not have cropped it so very tight.....you certainly scraped it in by the skin of your teeth

The 2X converter will work with your 60mm, as long as you put extension tubes on the body. But the 90mm macro is a different animal, admittedly it's twice the price, but you are getting a lens that is incredible, but don't take my word for it, have a look at the umpteen reviews on Youtube about it.

Between the TC and the lens is a better place for an extension tube. It's not going to help if it's on the body. A 12mm tube is what's needed but not all have a large enough internal diameter to be useable.
