just as a photographer) that the beauty of life is in the tiny details.</strong></p> <p>So for as long as I’ve been photographing with intention (since around 2006 with Sony camera phones), I’ve been drawn to photographing up close and intimate.</p> <p><strong>This is a short series on ways I’ve used cameras to get within breathing distance of that beauty. </strong></p> <p>You can see all posts in this series <a href="https://35hunter.blog/tag/how-to-get-up-close-and-intimate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>I thought I had concluded this close up series some weeks back, but when I came across this option for the first time very recently, I thought it was well worth sharing.</p> <p><strong>Part V – De-glass A Teleconverter</strong></p> <p>In Part III of this series we looked at dedicated <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2019/04/09/how-to-get-up-close-and-intimate-part-iii-macro-extension-rings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">macro extension rings</a>.</p> <p>I’ve only used these with M42 lenses, where there are no electric contacts to stop the lens down, focus, or adjust the aperture via the camera, so they are simply hollow metal tubes with a screw thread at each end that hold the lens closer to the subject that if it was mounted directly on a camera.</p> <p>More recently I’ve been using Pentax K mount DSLRs and lenses. These are automatically stopped down by the camera, and because I’ve been using A, F and DA series lenses, the aperture is controlled by the camera too.</p> <p>In the case of the F and DA lenses, they’re Auto Focus (AF) too.</p> <p>So using something similar to the “dumb” M42 mount extension rings would remove much of the automated functionality of these K mount lenses, and with the DA lenses lacking a manual aperture ring, they’d be next to useless.</p> <p><strong>I began looking at options for K mount extension rings that wouldn’t completely lose automation.</strong></p> <p>AF versions are too expensive (I could buy an A series dedicated macro lens for a similar amount) plus there are compatibility issues, depending on the type of AF lens you use.</p> <p>So I abandoned the AF route.</p> <p><strong>Being no stranger to manual focus, I turned my search here next.</strong></p> <p>There are a number of cheap third party “dumb” extension tubes, but any with electrical contacts quickly increase in cost towards £100.</p> <p>Again, given I could buy a dedicated macro lens for around that, it didn’t seem money well spent.</p> <p>After some research online, I read of a few people who have bought a teleconverter, that has the electrical contacts to stop down and adjust aperture in camera (KA Mount, rather than the original K mount), and de-glassed it, ie removed the glass elements inside that change the focal length of the lens attached.</p> <p>With one of these, aside from having to focus manually, you have the same automation as using the lens without the teleconverter.</p> <p><strong>So I found an article on how to de-glass a particular Pentax made 2x teleconverter, then picked up an example on eBay for £17.</strong></p> <figure

straightforward (this is why I chose this particular teleconverter – I’m not brilliant at lens disassembly and considerably worse at reassembly) and involved just unscrewing the outer locking ring that secures all the internal elements, then unscrewing the metal barrel that contains the innards, removing the glass and spacers and replacing the metal barrel and locking ring.</p> <p>Which took me about five minutes.</p> <p><strong>What you’re left with is an adapter that retains automation for Pentax-A and F lenses, but internally is essentially just a hollow tube.</strong></p> <p>Crucially, it means the lens used is moved considerably further away from the camera, so the close focus is dramatically increased.</p> <p>For example, the usual minimum focus of my Pentax-A 50/1.7 is typical of most 50/55mm lenses at 0.45m.</p> <p><strong>With this extension tube, the potential up close increases drastically.</strong></p> <p><img data-attachment-id="17855"

sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>What I like about this approach is you can use any compatible K mount lens on the other end, as they all have manual focusing capabilities.</p> <p><strong>With the A and F series lenses I have (which I favour with a DSLR as they give a more fluid experience than stopping up and down with manual aperture rings), they operate with the same automation as if the converter wasn’t there at all. </strong></p> <p>Aside from the slightly extra weight and of course the extra distance it makes the lens protrude, it’s exactly the same in practical terms as using the lens directly.</p> <p>Also as there are no optical elements, there is no loss of quality with the lens either.</p> <p>T<strong>he photographs in this post were made with this de-glassed teleconverter and the Pentax-A 50/1.7 lens.</strong></p> <p><img data-attachment-id="17852"

So I have plenty of options when I want to get up close and intimate with these lenses, and retain automation.</p> <p>As you know, I’m using Pentax K mount, but the same principle can be applied to any teleconverter that features the automation you require for your DSLR, and all brands have these kind of teleconverters available, made either by the brand themselves, or a third party.</p> <p>It’s worth doing some research first, as I suspect some are much more straightforward to de-glass than others.</p> <p><strong>How about you?

It wouldn’t have occurred to me either because I have only used a teleconvertor once before and didn’t really like the results, or the experience. But being able to use one to maintain the auto function of aperture, without any impact on image quality (as there’s no glass, just air to pass through) and allow that super closeness is excellent. Plus it doesn’t really add much weight or bulk to a DSLR, it’s about half the depth of your average lens, but lighter as there’s nothing in the middle. </p> </div> </article> </li> </ol> </li> <li id="comment-13597" class="comment byuser comment-author-joncampo241117 even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-13597" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=54&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=54&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=81&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=108&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=162&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/596d001484e38f9f96d0701c17721a75cb3814bdb2a756da3bc7617ead62a488?s=216&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-54' height='54' width='54' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> <b class="fn">jon campo</b> </span> <a href="https://35hunter.blog/2019/08/29/how-to-get-up-close-and-intimate-part-v-de-glassing-a-teleconverter/#comment-13597"> <time datetime="2019-08-30T10:53:54+00:00"> <span class="comment-date">August 30, 2019</span><span class="comment-time screen-reader-text">10:53 am</span> </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://35hunter.blog/2019/08/29/how-to-get-up-close-and-intimate-part-v-de-glassing-a-teleconverter/?replytocom=13597#respond" data-commentid="13597" data-postid="17823" data-belowelement="div-comment-13597" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to jon campo" aria-label="Reply to jon campo">Reply</a></span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>This is a new one on me Dan, but a brilliant concept.

There must be dozens, if not hundreds, of teleconvertors knocking about on eBay in all the major mounts. If you’re going Pentax, mine is called the Pentax Takumar-A 2x teleconvertor. I think there is a 1.4x that would do the same job as only the glass is a different magnification, which you’re removing anyway. I didn’t care about losing AF as it’s easier close up to just preset the focus then rock the camera forward and back incrementally to find optimum focus. </p> <p>Yes one of the best things about macro is it opens up so many more photo opportunities.

It just has the electrical contacts needed to communicate with the camera, so I can adjust the aperture of the lens on the camera body, retain all the EXIF data, and so on. You could certainly use an older teleconverter that has simply the right mechanical connection to stop down the lens, and nothing else, and for manual aperture and manual focus it should work well.
