Minolta 200mm 4.0 APO MACRO 1.4x 2x Minolta & 2x Tamron SP tests

Test executed with the 200mm Minolta Macro 4.0 APO.

TEST 1:
The goals of the test is to test the magnification of the Tele-converter at same distance from the subject with the lens setup at 1:1 . Exposure lock at 1/250 F14 on Camera, only swapping the tele converter : Minolta 1.4X, 2X and Tamron 2X SP (8pins).

TEST 2: same as TEST 1 but Aperture lock on the lens at F14 and exposure and exposition adjusted -> the different depth of field :Minolta 1.4X, 2X and Tamron 2X SP (8pins).

TEST 3: Different distance, but same exposure 1/250 F14: Minolta 1.4X and 2X.


The Tamron 2x SP has only been use at the magnification test 1:1 on two different dept of field.

Take in consideration that the tamron SP as the 8 pins connector and also allow the 200mm 4.0 to autofocus instead of the Minolta 1.4 and 2x that only allow MF.

All the images as been took on RAW setting at same exposure (flash) equivalent. Converted in Lightroom with 5000k maximum size setting.


The Next Bellow, is the same view from all the lens at same distance, but up-scaled to 1000 pixels horizontally (That is the size for the 2x converter).
