Even weirder Bart, I can see a few of your older images, but most of them don’t display anymore. Instead now I just get a little wireframe square. Really weird. :facesmack:

Hi Don,as I'm rather torn between the 18G and 45G extenders, I'm wondering for the 45G and GF250 what the longest shooting distance or longest working distance is for which you can still attain proper focus.Fuji's reference table only refers to the shortest distances.Do you have an idea and/or a rough estimate ?TIA{/QUOTE]This got me thinking which can be dangerous.I set a target I normally shoot at 100 yards, focusing on the center. I then laid out a 25' tape and set the GFX on a tripod. I began with just the 250 measuring the minimum distance for auto focus. Turns out the min distance is 187" (give or take 1")I then installed the 1.4 extender and after a little back and forth the min distance is 180" - again 1' either way which will be the same for the rest.The max distance for the 250, 1.4 and 45WR is 170"The min distance for the same setup is 103"I switched to the 18WR and found the max distance is 227" with the min distance for AF is 126"Using the GF250, 1.4 extender along with both the 18 and 45WRSmax distance for AF was 137" with the min 88"I took shots at each measurement and included a couple here for any reference.

Let's see if I got this right:
250 1.4x 18G 45G Min Max x 187 (4,75) ∞ x x 180 (4,57) ∞ x x x 126 (3,20) 227 (5,77) x x x 103 (2,62) 170 (4,32) x x x x 088 (2,24) 137 (3,48)
I wonder if I want to use that 1.4x for close-ups, but we'll see, for now I think I'll settle for that 45G !
Thanks again, Don.

Frankly, I’m a little puzzled by this table ...Hi Don, thanks a lot for your trouble and time !

For the lens alone I thought the shortest distance was 1,40 mtr which equels to 55”, right ?

I don't have an answer for this. I had a tap measure laying flat running between the target and under the tripod. The measurements I took were all from the same spot on the camera body. I just checked the specs given by Fuji and they show 4.59' - 1.4m as they min focus distance. I did this as an auto focus test not as a manual focus test.I'll revisit this later when I have the time.DonFrankly, I’m a little puzzled by this table ...

Mmm, there you could have a point, Don.I don't have an answer for this. I had a tap measure laying flat running between the target and under the tripod.

I could be wrong though, but I think I've read 'somewhere' that the minimum distance for manual focusing is actually shorter.
But how much shorter, I don't know.
Oh well, time to setup the tripod and fetch the tape measure ... :grin:

Thanks Vivek.Kind of looks like a place i can hang around for a long time!
sorry for the gloomy weather ...
