Cosina Matched Macro 1:1 Adapter

2017-04-30 Posted by Hin Man
I have the Cosin 1:1 matched macro adapter that originally comes with Vivitar (likely made by cosina) 100mm f/3.5 1:2 macro. If I am not mistaken, the Pentax may have this 100mm f/3.5 macro lens. It is a very valued macro lens in the Pentax community. And I missed my K-x very much. It used to be my traveling lens in New Zealand way back in 2010/2011 timeframe. I was sad to see it going to Pentax service as it died on memory card reader. I later sold it with a cute 4 million knock-off similar bag.

And I used the above combination for my favorite colors in Green, a bit of pink, blue, and B&W photos

All these photos are re-edited in Color Efex Pro in Nik Collection trying to enhance with film simulation. There has been couple of occasions that I could have bought a copy of the Vivitar 100mm f/3.5 1:2 macro but I have refrained well in getting another lens. Now I have two copies of the 1:1 macro adapter in 49mm which will work well as diopter like a UV filter for all of my 49mm lens and I have a few 46mm in Sigma Art E-mount series that I can easily use the adapter for the occasional close up that I love shooting without getting into serious macro with lighting, tripod and the immense amount patience challenge with wind, backlit scenes and the lack of articulating screen in Pentax gear that I use with K-x, K20, K5 and now K-3.

All these photos were re-edited in Color Efex Pro from the Nik Collection, using film simulation to enhance their look. Although I considered buying a Vivitar 100mm f/3.5 macro lens, I decided to make do with my existing gear. I now have two 1:1 macro adapters in 49mm that work like diopters for close-up shots. This setup allows me to shoot detailed images without complex lighting, tripods, or dealing with wind and backlit challenges. For students balancing hobbies and academics, services like Nursing Assignment Help uk can make managing coursework much easier.
