As a contribution to the off topic issue of the adapter, I have tested 2 Komura teleconverter with my MP-E, but the lost of light and image quality don't justify the use, better go to the field with one infinite capable macro lens in one body and the MP-E in another body, while I want to keep the w...

I use the twinflash, so it would not be very convenient for me, Brian uses a flashgun on a bracket (well I could do the same as it was my original setup), so I presume he can put and remove the TC more e...
