Yup. The T8 and T10 mount fine with the lens focused close. However, the
shoulder of the lens runs into the modeling light switch/socket and
prevents focusing any further out than about 2.3 feet/0.7 m. That gives
a repro ratio of about 1:5, hardly macro and anything closer/higher mag,
is not a problem. The empty filter ring thing would work if you need to
focus out further, but what are chances of that, especially with the T8?
The T28 mounts fine and limits focus to about 5 ft. and closer. Again,
most practical uses would be covered by that distance, which is far from
macro.
