Admit it, you've taken an artsy fartsy myspace-esque eye closeup pic at least once.

Nope, because I don't own a lens that will focus close enough to fill a frame with an eye.

At least I had the decency not to show it to anyone, though.

The OPs isn't too bad, as far as eyes go. Not that it's a creative subject or anything.
>> Einta !!MWv3ICYobCM
I collect eyes.

I'm just trying to figure out how to justify buying a macro lens (Are the cheaper macro options/alternatives worth it [Canon]?) for eyes only...

Nope. Not that I haven't tried. But all my attempts turn out a blurry mess.

The Canon 60mm macro is good.

Sigma 50, 70 and 105mm macros are all very nice.

The Tamron 90mm is optically just as good as the Canon 100mm, a little lower price for the less impressive build and AF.

Have a look on Photozone http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos

You can see the performance of them for macro purposes tends to be all of a very good standard.

50mm + kenko tubes = cheaper than any new macro lens

won't get you to true macro realm but will do this kind of magnification easily

Extension tubes? Canon's air isn't any better than Kenko's. No elements, remember.

No. I'm just bad at making eye contact and I tend to disassemble the features of the face mentally so I don't see the whole, just pieces thereof.

Actually, I was just fascinated by this one girl's beautiful eyes that I asked her if I could take a shot. She agreed as long as I email the photo to her. It's probably up on her myspace or something but being able to stare into her eyes with a goofy grin on my face while hiding behind my viewfinder was freakin' awesome.

>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA

Not that roflworthy. Seems like it should be trivial for the extension tube makers to run the appropriate wires to get AF to work with EOS cameras, at least.

(They don't, but it seems like they *should*)
>> Einta !!MWv3ICYobCM
>>160919
*Should* is a funny word.

It seems that one can spend a hundred+ and save AF, or spend $20 and lose it. I think for eye shots alone I can manually focus.

extension tubes aren't teleconverters, you don't lose AF on them

If that's true, why pay 5-10 times as much for kenko tubes compared to the no-name ones off ebay? Just build quality/ease of assembly?

Why manual focus on eye shots? You're likely to miss the focus unless you are on a tripod and your subject is laying down.

I use AI servo, so it doesn't matter if the subject is moving; the iris always in focus.
